Abstract(s)
Automation and production systems are evolving in the direction of autonomous and collaborative components, approaching the idea of an ecosystem. A single habitant of this system is responsible for different and concurrent activities and thus it requires a special adapted anatomy that is balanced for the several requirements. This work introduces an anatomical-like structure for the development of functional and reusable modules of service-oriented automation components. The central attention will be given to their internal structure and the mechanism that bind the modules together, called the Event Router-Scheduler. The resulting software automation components are customized for different tasks due to the inclusion and management of the specialized functional modules and provide the ability to operate in a service-oriented automation and production environment.
