Abstract
Today, the convergence of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and manufacturing execution systems (MESs) is limited by the fact that they come from different contexts and are leveraged by different underlying technologies. Therefore, the exchange of data between the production control level, i.e., shop floor, and the enterprise application level, i.e., top floor, is done either manually or semiautomatically. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architectural paradigm for developing systems from autonomous yet interoperable components. Leveraging the SOA paradigm allows for services to be reused accross processes and systems. In this paper, the proposition of applying the SOA paradigm to automation systems implemented through web services technology in order to adopt at all levels of the automation hierarchy is provided. A SOA based approach with utilization of the OPC Unified Architecture (UA) specifications to automation systems and initial results of the proposed approach are presented including work directions for future research.
