Open Reference Architecture for Sustainable Papermaking based on Industrial Interoperability Standards and Cloud-Native Technologies

IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA), pp. 1–4

Abstract

An open reference architecture is presented for sustainable papermaking based on a combined usage of open industrial interoperability standards such as the Asset Administration Shell, Functional Mockup Interface, AutomationML and OPC UA for modeling and exchanging information towards decarbonization of paper production. The models combine with containerized calculation modules and end-user services, extending the capabilities of existing production systems to support development of a scalable, modular, flexible, and interoperable framework for usage by various manufacturers. The vendor-neutral, domain-agnostic architecture can also be viewed as a blueprint for sustainable manufacturing in other industrial contexts.
