Control kernel in smart factory environments: Smart resources integration

The evolution of the definition of industry into the Smart factories has provide a big improvements in terms of production efficiency and promoted new ways to implement interfaces between humans and machines. A factory plan, which is achieved by means of a set of missions, implies a set of control missions. In this work is introduced how to achieve these control missions into a smart factory through distributed services. These services are provided by integrating smart resources. Smart resources will rely its execution on the control kernel which provides real-time support and reliability to the execution of control tasks. As a conclusions, we introduce a scalable and reusable hierarchy to perform factory plans based on distributed services.
