工业4.0(I4.0)的概念使当前的工业流程朝着将车间机器直接连接到自动化金字塔不同层的系统的方向发展，例如企业资源规划(ERP)或制造执行系统(MES)。引入I4.0概念的公司旨在：(I)促进多变的生产系统，以便对客户的询问做出快速反应，从而即使是批量生产也变得可行；(Ii)对生产过程的不同参数有一个整体的看法。启用这些需要访问自动化金字塔的不同系统，这在传统生产系统中是很难实现的，如果不进行耗时、费力和预算的技术更改，主要是因为缺乏标准化、不同的协议以及自动化金字塔系统之间缺乏适当的接口。由于经济原因或缺乏具备自动化金字塔所有级别技能的人员，中小型企业(SME)面临的挑战更大。基于I4.0的概念是根据面向服务的体系结构原则构建的，以支持来自自动化金字塔每一层的系统的对等通信。面向服务的中间件体系结构Eclipse BaSyx 4.0实现了SOA和其他I4.0概念，如Digital Twin，并已在不同规模的德国公司中进行了实例化。在本文中，我们提供了两个用例，重点介绍了在两家德国中小企业中采用Eclipse BaSyx的情况，并展示了这如何在缩短时间、工作量和预算的情况下支持采用I4.0概念。
Industry 4.0 (I4.0) concepts evolve the current industrial processes towards directly connecting shopfloor machines to systems from different layers of the Automation Pyramid, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). Companies introducing I4.0 concepts aim at (i) facilitating changeable production systems in order to quickly react to customer inquiries such that even lot-size one becomes feasible and (ii) having a holistic view of the different parameters of a production process. Enabling these calls for accessing the different systems of the Automation Pyramid, which is hard to achieve in traditional production systems without technical changes consuming time, effort and budget, mainly due to the lack of standardization, heterogeneous protocols, and the lack of proper interfaces among the systems of the Automation Pyramid. This challenge is greater in small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) due to economic reasons or lack access to personnel with a skill set encompassing all the levels of the Automation Pyramid. I4.0-based concepts are built according to the Service-Oriented Architecture principle to enable peer-to-peer communication of systems from each layer of the Automation Pyramid. The service-oriented middleware architecture Eclipse BaSyx 4.0 implements SOA and other I4.0 concepts such as Digital Twins, and has been instantiated in German companies of different sizes. In this paper, we present two use cases focusing on of adoption of Eclipse BaSyx in two German SMEs and show how this enables the adoption of I4.0 concepts with improved time, effort and budget.
