Abstract :
Service oriented architecture (SOA) based on Web services is starting to be considered as the technology in the manufacturing environment that will enable an increase agile and collaborative manufacturing capabilities. This paper explores the application of SOA in shop floor automation using device profile for Web services (DPWS) which allows SOA on a device. In this research, orchestration framework has been introduced to effectively control SOA services on devices. The orchestrator has been further implemented and demonstrated on a prototype production test rig. The functionalities and implementation of the orchestrator has been discussed in detail in this paper.
