Abstract
There are many challenges for the manufacturing industry when building and maintaining interoperable information systems. Automation and related information systems are often implemented in controlled and secure environments that lead to autonomous disconnected islands. This study presents two innovative solutions that exemplify both horizontal and vertical systems integration. The solutions have been implemented and tested on a flexible and mobile assembly system with equipment from different suppliers.
