SOCRADES is a web service based integration architecture that can serve the requirements of future
‘manufacturing. SOCRADES provides genetic components upon which sophisticated production processes can be
modelled. SOCRADES enables enterprise-level applications to interact with and consume data from a wide range
of networked devices using a high-level, abstract interface that features web services standards
The various levels through SOCRADES integration architecture are as follows:
+ Device level: This level consists of smart objects, such as RFID tags, smart embedded devices, and sensor
networks, that can sense, measure, or actuate various parameters in the manufacturing environment. These
smart objects can offer their functionality as web services and communicate with each other and with
higher-level components using various protocols, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, etc.
* Gateway level: This level consists of hubs or gateways that connect the device level to the internet and to
the cloud platform. The hubs or gateways can also perform some local processing and storage of the data
collected from the device level. The hubs or gateways can be dedicated devices, such as smart home hubs,
or general-purpose devices, such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops.
+ Cloud level: This level consists of the cloud platform that provides the backend services and applications
for the SOCRADES integration architecture. The cloud platform can store, process, analyze, and visualize
the data collected from the device level and the gateway level. The cloud platform can also provide remote
access, control, and management of the SOCRADES integration architecture through a web or mobile
interface. The cloud platform can also integrate with other external services or platforms, such as voice
assistants, social media, weather, etc.
+ Application level: This level consists of the enterprise applications that can use the SOCRADES integration
architecture to execute business processes and workflows. The enterprise applications can be ERP systems,
MES systems, CRM systems, etc. The enterprise applications can interact with the SOCRADES integration
architecture using a high-level, abstract interface that features web services standards.
