Abstract

Abstract This paper presents a novel approach to implement smart manufacturing concepts based on the edge computing paradigm using a distributed network of interconnected manufacturing nodes. These cyber-physical entities act as edge devices and combine the concepts of holons and digital agents together with local digital twins to enable local control, decision making and optimization. The network of manufacturing nodes is controlled globally by the global digital agent connected to a global digital twin for production order and logistics optimization, and locally by the local digital agents, digital twins, and information shared by the node network. The main contribution of this paper is a demonstration of the concept of edge computing based smart manufacturing with distributed control structure.
