Abstract
Following paradigms like Ubiquitous Computing or the Internet of Things, modern
factories are developing to intelligent environments, in which information regarding the location of
production assets, semi-finished goods and workforces is becoming a key factor for process
optimization. This article illustrates how architectural support including semantic technologies can
support the development of location-aware applications in the domain of industrial production.
Focussing on a mobile maintenance use case, the prototype of a seamless navigation application in the
SmartFactoryKL is presented The article concludes with discussing benefits and limitations of
applying semantic technologies in factory applications and highlighting future research issues.
