Abstract :
This paper proposes a process management system that enables new dynamic manufacturing models to be implemented. This system facilitates the automation of process modelling, thus reducing the workload for process engineers. To this end, it focuses on the incorporation of knowledge in the definition of the processes and services involved. The document presents a general scenario in which industrial machinery is offered as services (IMaaS), integrated under a service-oriented architecture (SOA); this is followed by a definition of an ontology that enables the incorpoation of knowledge into the proposed scenario; finally the implementation of a prototype, along with a test scenario, is presented, enabling the viability of the proposal to be demonstrated.
