Cyber-Physical Production Systems for Industrial Shop-Floor Integration Based on AMQP

Due to the recent development of the Internet of Things (IoT), and Cloud computing technologies, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPPS) are currently used as controllers during the manufacturing process. This new approach results in new insights that can enhance decision-making processes and provide a competitive business advantage. This study deals with the implementation of CPPS using low-cost devices in a simulated factory to control the industrial process and integrate shop-floor communications using the AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) protocol. In an era in which most CPPS-related studies are conducted on high-level abstract models, this study describes more specific architectural frameworks in a real process.
