Presentation Title
Software Defined Operational Technologies for Smart Manufacturing
Abstract
We will delineate a strategic blueprint for smart manufacturing, instrumental in both modernizing existing factories and establishing new ones. This approach harnesses operational technologies (OT), comprising containerized software solutions and standard industrial PCs. The suite of containerized software encompasses MES (Manufacturing Execution System), virtual PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), and device gateway, facilitating seamless communication across a broad spectrum of industrial equipment, PLCs, and sensors. Moreover, it is evidenced that this approach is conducive to realizing Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) through the effective integration of OT and IT, particularly in conjunction with Product Lifetime Management (PLM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).
