Abstract

Industry 4.0 has revolutionized manufacturing by introducing technologies such as Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things and others that make manufacturing more efficient and dynamic. Despite these benefits, Industry 4.0 has a high barrier to entry. The complexity of manufacturing systems will inevitably increase, and it is also necessary to redesign existing manufacturing processes to take advantage of Industry 4.0. In this paper we use Enterprise Architecture to help companies to deal with the increasing complexity when adopting Industry 4.0. In our research, we found that many solutions have been developed to help companies make the technological transition to Industry 4.0, but none helps companies align their newly acquired technological capabilities with their production processes. To address this gap, we developed RAMOM, a reference architecture for manufacturing operation management activities in Industry 4.0. RAMOM is composed of several views, developed in the Archimate language, that provide information on the actors, functions, data types and how these relate to manufacturing operation management activities, thus guiding organizations in their implementation. To confirm its validity, we conducted an evaluation of RAMOM based on expert knowledge and an application of RAMOM in a Portuguese industry case study. We concluded that is useful to use RAMOM to help organizations adapt their processes to Industry 4.0.
