Cloud manufacturing - the connection between RAMI 4.0 and IoT

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents an empirical analysis regarding the advantages offered by cloud manufacturing, the need to analyze RAMI 4.0 and not least IoT applications. The latter using high performance platforms can lead to the modernization of the automation, tracking and control systems, but they also add to the optimization systems in order to increase the performance. RAMI offers a 3D analysis of the entire manufacturing flow, a system that can be more effectively analyzed, interpreted and can be intervened to grant mandatory maintenance. Cloud manufacturing offers an overview of the entire manufacturing process with all the resources and resources used, as well as an overall analysis regarding any possible interventions needed to optimize the manufacturing system. In order to be able to draw the most relevant conclusions in real time, we simulated such a system with the help offered by Petri nets. We chose the Petri nets because they are easier to interpret, they provide real-time information, modifications can be made relatively easily so that decisions can be made in the shortest time so as not to disturb the manufacturing system. Because cloud manufacturing, the manufacturing system and the IoT platforms have been presented in previous works on the same manufacturing system, in this paper I will review them and focus more on the cloud manufacturing relationship and RAMI 4.0.
