Abstract
Industry 4.0 leverages Cyber Physical Production Systems (CPPS) that use IoT (Internet of Things) communication and ubiquitous computing to optimize and integrate synergistically manufacturing processes and industrial business. This increased computational and communication capability allows to dynamically interact with the physical environment providing higher performance leading the fourth industrial revolution. The benefits generated by the involvement of the TOGAF Framework in the most varied organizational models were previously discussed in the literature in a broad way, different from the application of IoT architecture, recently studied and applied in the industrial branch. Therefore, no IoT application activities based on the TOGAF structure in manufacturing processes were identified. To explore this interactivity in IoT based manufacturing systems, this paper seeks to investigate how industrial IoT application architectures are built and correlate them with the framework TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework). The development of the article is defined in three steps: (i) to review the literature within the industrial context in order to consolidate the information and address different representations of the study in question to confirm the gap presented earlier; (ii) to verify the various ways to structure the information for IoT applications and correlate them with the TOGAF framework; and (iii) to elaborate a consistent critical analysis from the addressed points.
