Abstract

In the context of Industry 4.0, services are brought to the forefront along with a higher degree of networking. The vision of self-governing systems that exchange information and make decisions without human intervention is a primary goal, but not necessarily the focus of many projects. The research project "Rent'n'Produce: Secure Cloud Service for the Commissioning and Control of Production Systems" which is currently being processed at the Institute for Control Engineering of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Units of the University of Stuttgart, has the vision of advancing self-directed manufacturing systems. Companies from different industries should be provided with a cloud-based platform that enables a highly flexible production order. This bachelor thesis will focus on the integration of a real machine tool into the Rent'n'Produce Cloud Platform by using the Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture. The required functionality of the integrated service should be encapsulated in a virtualization container. This middleware is intended to provide access to configuration and status data of the production resource, to transfer numerical control programs to the machine tool, and to start or stop the part production.
