Abstract

Following paradigms like Ubiquitous Computing or the Internet of Things, modern factories are developing to intelligent environments, in which information regarding the location of production assets, semi-finished goods and workforces is becoming a key factor for process optimization. This article illustrates how architectural support including semantic technologies can support the development of location-aware applications in the domain of industrial production. Focussing on a mobile maintenance use case, the prototype of a seamless navigation application in the SmartFactoryKL is presented The article concludes with discussing benefits and limitations of applying semantic technologies in factory applications and highlighting future research issues.
