Abstract

Industry 4.0 is promoting a new Industrial Revolution through the application of computer and communication technologies for the construction of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), which can be considered a key component for the development of this new revolution. In this context, this article proposes to implement an architecture for embedded intelligent agents based on CPS. For this, it is proposed a classification of hardware suitable for boarding this agent. Through this classification a device and initial testing of the agent is selected using the MTConnect standard, which currently presents itself as a potentially efficient standard for this application given the guarantees of some communication requirements. The initial tests presented satisfactory results in the system against the requirements of communication, processing and storage. In addition, the benefits of the proposed architecture over traditional automation systems are presented. Finally, the possible scenario for validation of this architecture is presented.
