The FIRST (vF Interoperation suppoRting buSiness innovaTion) Project: Service Management for Virtual Factories

The H2020 FIRST project addresses the virtual factories, which are digital abstractions of real factories. The exploitation of virtual factories enables interoperability between real components inside a factory as well as between different factories belonging to the same supply chain. Moreover, virtual factories can be exploited to manage and compose services inside a factory, defining dynamic adaptation of set of services depending on high-level goals. In this paper we sketch the project results and its current state.
