In reaction to the changing requirements for modern manufacturing systems, which lead to an increasing demand for flexibility and reconfigurability, different technologies had been developed in the past to meet these requirements. In today’s competitive dynamic market, the successful integration of new architectures and technologies in manufacturing processes is inevitable for all organizations. One promising approach is to map the concepts of “Service-Oriented Architecture” into the automation area. In order to test and evaluate the capabilities of this architecture and its related technologies, the University of Applied Sciences Emden/Leer has been building its “Digital Factory” following this approach. This paper will provide an overview about how the SOA concept has been implemented at the “Digital Factory” and what is going to be realized in the future.
