Manufacturing Ontology Development Based on Industry 4.0 Demonstration Production Line
The increasing pressures faced by manufacturers, the shortening of innovation cycles and the growing importance of high efficiency manufacturing demand a higher versatility of factory automation. In order to achieve this target, engineering tasks currently performed manually need to be automated. In this case, ontologies emerge as a significant method for representing manufacturing knowledge in a machine interpretable way. This knowledge can then be used by automated problem solving methods to reconfigure the control software that coordinates and supervises manufacturing systems. Besides, Ontology can play a very important role in the process of creating as well as managing the knowledge. This paper addresses the important issues in developing domain specific ontology for manufacturing used in industry 4.0 demonstration production line. A generic ontology is developed considering all the aspects about product from customized order to resulting production.
