New academic paper by Alexandros Bousdekis and Gregoris Mentzas on “Enterprise Integration and Interoperability for Big Data-Driven Processes in the Frame of Industry 4.0“.

The paper proposes a RAMI 4.0 based architectural framework for designing and modelling solutions for big data-driven manufacturing operations. It demonstrates the applicability of the proposed framework through its instantiation to predictive maintenance, a manufacturing function that increasingly concerns manufacturers due to the high costs, safety issues, and complexity of its application.
