Towards a Microservice Architecture for the Manufacturing Operations Layer
Christoph Wunck · EPiC series in computing · 2019
This paper elaborates on the advantages of migrating legacy IT systems for manufacturing operations to a microservice architecture, which is an important step towards a platform-based ecosystem. Architecture models for manufacturing operations from the literature are evaluated. The different models’ strengths are combined towards a common architecture for the factory of the future. Microservices are introduced as a new architectural style for manufacturing operations software.
