Cloud services of digital and smart factories of the Industry 4.0

Abstract

Consideration is given to a relevant task of organizing cloud services for building the factories of the future: a digital factory and smart factory Industry 4.0. The digital factory majors in design activity resulting in preparation of technical documentation for an article. The smart factory majors in the production activity, which results in article manufacture following the unattended technology. Both types of enterprises use the cyberphysical equipment in the activity thereof, which function on the basis of cloud technologies, including the following cloud services: infrastructure, platform, virtual machine, program, with the user’s access thereto provided on the basis of interfaces of the Industrial Internet of Things. Presently there are no ready technical (technological) solutions providing for integration of cloud services into design and production infrastructure of the factories of the future. The schemes of interaction of components of the cloud services for design activity for the digital factory and for production activity of the smart factory majoring in instrument-building in the field of radio electronics are offered. The properties and assignments of components featuring practical application as part of automated stations of designers of digital factory and operators of the smart factory are described. The decisions on substantiating contents and description of methods of integrating heterogenous cloud services for information support of activity of factories of the future are the main research results.
