Abstract
The invention relates to a device for use in production, which offers at least one production service or is connectable to a device offering a production service comprising a physical interface across which data in relation to at least one physical property are exchanged with at least one other device; further comprising a cyber physical interface across which data in relation to production service properties are exchanged with at least one other device; and comprising a communication interface across which at least one communication link having defined communication properties can be established. The invention further relates to a corresponding method.
Claims16
A device for use in production, the device providing at least one production service or being connectable to a device providing the production service, the device comprising:
- a physical port for establishing a physical data connection to another device, across which data in relation to at least one physical property are exchanged with at least one other device, wherein the other device provides at least one second production service or is connectable to the device providing the production service, wherein the other device has a physical production interface with the device, and wherein the physical data connection from the device to the other device is wireless or wirebound;
- a cyber physical port for establishing a cyber physical data connection to the other device, across which data in relation to at least one production service property are exchanged with the at least one other device;
- and
- a network port across which at least one communication data connection having defined communication properties is establishable via nodes of a communication network between the device and the at least one other device, the communication properties being derived from one or more of the at least one production service property such that communication over the communication network with a necessary quality of service is providable.
A method for establishing a production interaction between a first device for use in production and a second device for use in production, the method comprising:
- establishing a physical data connection between the first device and the second device for exchange of data relating to at least one physical property of a device, wherein the second device provides at least one second production service or is connectable to the first device providing the production service, wherein the second device has a physical production interface with the first device, and wherein the physical data connection from the first device to the second device is wireless or wirebound;
- establishing a cyber physical data connection for exchange of data relating to at least one production service property between the first device and the second device;
- deriving at least one communication property from one or more production service properties of the at least one production service property;
- requesting a communication data connection via nodes of a communication network between the first device and the second device with the derived at least one communication property such that communication over the communication network with a necessary quality of service is providable.
