Cloud computing environments for simulation of adaptable standardized work and electronic work instructions in industry 4.0

Abstract

Industry 4.0 is a term connotated with the development of software services able to percept and act in industrial environments. A common characteristic is the availability of data and information in the format of streams which are available for building new industrial processes. In this paper, an architecture of an application able to process different inputs in the creation of electronic work instruction and the optimisation of standard work is presented. Taking into consideration the principles of industry 4.0, the information is stored in a web application which manages user access, content creation and update, review process and optimisation procedures.
