Abstract
In Industry 4.0, the connected devices in production communicate with each other via standardized Internet protocols to achieve common goals. In this way, they enable the construction of complex, self-organizing applications, such as self-propelled transport vehicles in factory environments. Especially in large factories, newly emerging devices, as well as devices that are no longer available or fail, pose a great challenge. New devices have to be integrated into the application, while failing devices have to be handled. Dealing with this dynamic is a big issue, especially if this happens automatically. In this paper we present a life cycle method for device management in Industry 4.0 environments. This method allows for the integration of newly emerging devices into Smart Factory applications and also provides ways to deal with failing devices. We evaluate our approach by prototypically implementing our method and the corresponding architecture.
