Zusammenfassung
The Factory of Things describes the extension of the Internet of Things specific
to the production domain. The semantic description of products, processes
and plants depicts a basic module of this approach, through which
information can be filtered and services can be discovered and orchestrated
on demand. The usage of semantic technologies in the context of production
can make a valuable contribution towards managing the growing complexity,
increasing the flexibility of production processes and establishing a semantic
interoperability among heterogneous systems. This chapter presents
an approach to build semantic plant models based on production-specific
knowledge sources, lexical knowledge and the usage of methods for semiautomatic
knowledge acquisition. The efficient development of the semantic
plant model based on a clearly defined methodology is meant as a first step
towards semantic interoperability in industrial production.We describe a case
study in an industry-related production plant, in which the developed semantic
plant model serves as the basis for the efficient discovery and dynamic
orchestration of field device services to build adaptive production processes.
