6. Conferenza del Dipartimento Roma, 26 e 27 maggio 2014 Fundamental requirements Cover all the relevant fields related to the Factory domain Use of existing technical standards Data consistency, safety Versioning Granularity Extensibility Proprietary Data management External Data & Knowledge 0 Legacy DB

7. Conferenza del Dipartimento Roma, 26 e 27 maggio 2014 Main evaluated options 1.Data Model as a set of XSD files  Data Repository as a set of XML files No explicit semantic definitions (and therefore no validation) Inter–documents references (cross-reference) are poorly modeled Distributed data can be hardly managed 2.Data Model as a set of Ontologies (Semantic Web) (i.e. OWL files containing meta-data definitions)  Data Repository as a set of OWL/RDF files containing individuals Semantic data representation Modeling of distributed data (enabler for referential consistency check) Possibility for Xml serialization

11. Conferenza del Dipartimento Roma, 26 e 27 maggio 2014 CHRONOS is an optimization tool that can be adopted to solve optimization problems related to manufacturing production systems such as: buffer allocation, pallet sizing, kanban number optimization. ARENA Simulation Module integrates the commercial simulation software tool ARENA and a set of libraries for the automatic model generation within the VFF. VF-GUI is an interface, generated dynamically from the data model, to create and visualize Factory projects and libraries. It is adopted to explore, modify information contained in local or remote repositories the user may have access to. GIOVE Virtual Factory GIOVE Virtual Factory (GIOVE-VF) is a virtual reality collaborative environment aimed at supporting the factory design by selecting machines, operators and other resources and place them in the 3D scene of the virtual factory.
