When we think of Industrial automation, Industrial processes should become aligned to the current models of distributed systems. Can we think of converting Industrial processes to be more adaptable to domain invariant models. This can make automation easier? Domain engineering can help in this area.
Internet of things is the paradigm that can promise a lot for the area of connected machinery. I believe the concept of 'Industrial Internet' by GE is somewhat inspiring in this direction. Machine to Machine (M2M) and Machine to Human (M2H) communication protocols needs to custom design for Industrial automation needs. There are many initiatives which takes this further to predictive energy optimization in the heavy machinery factories. RFID, MQTT, are some tools that need to be extended further.
@Gokul, very interesting considerations! Actually, I had used a bit a domain engineering in production process modelling. Its techniques will spread across the field of industrial automation for large scale distributed systems.
Dear Professor Ljubomir Jacić,
"ISA-100.11a-2011 was developed to provide reliable and secure wireless operation for noncritical monitoring, alerting, supervisory control, open loop control and closed loop control applications. The standard defines the protocol suite, system management, gateway and security specifications for low-data-rate wireless connectivity with fixed, portable and moving devices supporting very limited power consumption requirements. The application focus is to address the performance needs of applications, such as monitoring and process control, where latencies on the order of 100 ms can be tolerated, with optional behavior for shorter latency."
