Abstract
Today, most IoT solutions for the production ecosystem stem from trends that first established at the consumer market. Although these concepts have been adapted well in the industrial environment, it led to fragmented solutions that require complex interfaces. With the recent introduction of GAIA-X, it becomes possible to develop platform independent IoT solutions tailored to the needs of manufacturers. Until now, GAIA-X is only a concept proposed by governments and economic advisory boards. This paper extends the concept into an industrial system architecture that enables the reliable exchange of information among the supply chain of a highly distributed production network.
