“…A crucial piece is the concept of holon that simultaneously represents a part and a whole, i.e. is simultaneously a self-contained whole to its subordinated parts and a dependent part when seen from higher levels [22][23][24]. Taking advantage of the holon nature, and mainly the Janus effect, the use of holonics simplifies the system's design by using the recursivity property.…”

“…An approach for achieving this level of automation has been initially suggested by Colombo et al [33], who recognize the notion of a product holon or intelligent product. A characteristic feature of such a product according to McFarlane et al [34] is that it "deploys a language to display its features, production requirements, etc".…”

One of the significant challenges for current and future manufacturing systems is that of providing rapid reconfigurability in order to evolve and adapt to mass customization. This challenge is aggravated if new types of processes and components are introduced, as existing components are expected to interact with the novel entities but have no previous knowledge on how to collaborate. This statement not only applies to innovative processes and devices, but is also due to the impossibility to incorporate knowledge in a single device about all types of available system components. This paper proposes the use of Semantic Web Services in order to overcome this challenge. The use of ontologies and explicit semantics enable performing logical reasoning to infer sufficient knowledge on the classification of processes that machines offer, and on how to execute and compose those processes to carry out manufacturing orchestration autonomously. A series of motivating utilization scenarios are illustrated, and a research roadmap is presented.Index Terms-Knowledge based systems, manufacturing automation, reconfigurable manufacturing systems, Semantic Web Services.

Efforts to effectively utilize field data in a wider area continue in the field of manufacturing systems today. As part of these efforts, we focus on a computing environment for field devices, in which functionality can be flexibly expanded to effectively utilize data. However, there are several issues to be solved when new functionality is added to programs on various devices and multiple users operate the system concurrently. To solve these issues, we propose a computing environment for field devices called Field Overlay Architecture (FOA). The FOA provides a Common Computing Environment to be embedded on every device and an Overlay Management Framework for application environments. By the FOA, multiple users can operate their own applications on devices concurrently and independently. This paper describes the concept and mechanism of the FOA and a prototyped system based on the FOA.
