Abstract

The fourth industrial revolution and the advent of cyber-physical systems increase the flexibility and effectiveness in production, but they also change the role of software. Traditional monolithic systems need to split up in order to increase flexibility, maintainability and performance. There are existing approaches transforming traditional software towards a cloud-based infrastructure, but little work is done in applying this to real-time applications. This work proposes an architecture that uses containers to modularize real-time control applications, messaging for communication and a hardware abstraction layer to improve maintainability, reusability and flexibility. Using a prototypical implementation of the architecture, we validate the feasibility of this approach through a benchmark.
