摘要：The path towards Industrie 4.0, requires that factory automation problems cope with the cyber-physical system complexity and its challenges. Some practical experiences and literature in the field testify that the role of the database management systems is becoming central for control and automation technology in the new industrial scenario. This article proposes database-centric technology and architectures that seamlessly integrate networking, artificial intelligence and real-time control issues into a unified model of computing. The proposed methodology is also viable for the development of simulation and rapid prototyping tools for smart and advanced industrial automation.
