A Lightweight MES Using RAMI4.0 on the Example of Smart Insect Farms
- Reference Architecture Model Industry 4.0 (RAMI4.0) compliant Manufacturing Operation System (MES) implementations require high investments, which put them out of reach for small and medium-sized enterprises. This work presents a lightweight RAMI4.0-compliant MES. The underlying proposed architecture of the Cognitive Robotic System for Digitalized and Networked (Automated) Insect Farms (CoRoSect) project ensures communication and information interoperability within the shop and office floor. The repository pattern is used for sharing data by integrating secondary Asset Administration Shells (AASs) as an information hub. We propose further enhancements by implementing higher-level AASs for edge or public cloud use. The path taken for reaching this goal can be especially interesting for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) because of the simplified implementation and for other researchers by improving this procedure in a more complete solution. First, pilots show the practicality of the provided solution.
