The fundamental purpose of Industry 4.0 is to facilitate cooperation and collaboration between technical objects, which means they must be virtually represented and connected. The concept of Industry 4.0 is intended to create digital description rules for a technical object throughout its entire lifetime, and for the associated changes in value, in the form of the Reference Architecture Model for Industry 4.0 “RAMI4.0”.
Reference Architecture Model specified in PD IEC/PAS 63088 represents the technical object and all aspects relevant to it, from its development, production and use right through to its disposal. The industry 4.0 component provides a digital description of the object, making it possible to represent that object virtually.
PD IEC/PAS 63088 defines a Reference architecture model to identify, structure, and illustrate the different areas where standards exist, or standards are required. It allows setting standards in relation to different aspects, hierarchies and life cycles.
PD IEC/PAS 63088 on smart manufacturing RAMI4.0 is useful for:
Manufacturers, customers, service providers are working in a more and more global market. the need for interoperability of products, open interfaces can only be achieved with international standards. To cover these needs, PD IEC/PAS 63088 have activities related to smart manufacturing.
PD IEC/PAS 63088 defines terms and definitions generally for Smart Manufacturing. As Smart Manufacturing is covering different domains (batch, continuous, discrete, etc.), terms need to be harmonized and globally accepted.
PD IEC/PAS 63088 describes two fundamental reference models for the industry 4.0 concept: The reference architecture model RAMI4.0 is a reference model of Industry 4.0 reference architecture and gives a structured description of fundamental ideas and the I4.0 component reference model provides digital access to this description.
