Title: Factory automation edge computing operating system reference implementation

Project start: 01.10.2016

Project end: 30.09.2019

Funding: European Commission – HORIZON 2020

Further partners: SIEMENS – Germany, VOLVO – Sweden, WHIRLPOOL – Italy, X/OPEN COMPANY – United Kingdom, POLITECNICO DI MILANO – Italy, LULEA TEKNISKA UNIVERSITET – Switzerland, UNPARALLEL INNOVATION – Portugal, SMARTFACTORY KL – Germany, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION LABORATORY IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES - Greece

Abstract: FAR-EDGE aims at developing a novel factory automation platform based on edge computing architectures and IoT/CPS technologies.

FAR-EDGE will provide a reference implementation of emerging standards-based solutions for industrial automation (RAMI 4.0, Industrial Internet Consortium reference architecture), along with simulation services for validating automation architectures and production scheduling scenarios.

FAR-EDGE will lower the barriers for manufacturers to move towards Industrie 4.0, as a means of facilitating mass-customization and reshoring.

Emphasis will be paid in the study of migration options from legacy centralized architectures, to emerging FAR-EDGE based ones.
