IIRA (Industrial Internet Reference Architecture)
Connections to other Concepts
- Developed by IIC (Industry IoT Consortium)
- Alignment with RAMI 4.0 (Reference Architecture Model Industrie 4.0)
- Alignment with IMSA (Intelligent Manufacturing System Architecture)
Short Description
- Based on the Industrial Internet Architecture Framework (IIAF)
- A reference architecture that serves the basic definition of Industrial Internet Systems (IIS). These systems are defined as end-to-end application systems for industrial tasks. They include technical components as well as interactions with users.
- IIRA describes the logical structure of overall systems and processes in the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) environment
- Focuses on the uniform definition of abstraction levels and semantic relationships
- It is defined for multiple vertical markets, not just manufacturing
- Consists of four viewpoints (Business, Usage, Functional and Implementation) that address the IIoT system concerns
- These viewpoints are the basis of the architecture and may be extended by defining additional views and viewpoints as needed to organize system concerns based on their specific system requirements.
