A speculation on a framework that provides highly organized services for manufacturing

Recently, a movement that seeks a novel level of manufacturing occurs in many countries such as Industrie 4.0 in Germany. The goal of such activities is to improve efficiency in every field of manufacturing by applying the ICT. One of the issues in this movement is vertical integration of services from plant floor to decision making via some BI tools for visualization. We propose a framework that can accommodate any kinds of services and provide a session control that enables a session with any combination of services on the framework, since the existing SOA software is not good enough in flexibility of adopting services and processing data with low latency. We also assume that the framework runs on data centers said “cloud”, and issues regarding security are considered as well.
