Abstract
The world is changing distinctly and manufacturing is facing significant
challenges. Current manufacturing paradigms need to develop towards better
agility to meet current market demand. The relevant research has been launched
and the resulting new approaches, like smart manufacturing, digital
manufacturing and the cognitive factory, are introduced. However, today's real
challenge to manufacturing enterprises is building an infrastructure that
will enable the sharing of knowledge and information in a manufacturing
environment, regardless of time and place. This article reviews some of the
latest approaches and research initiatives and suggests the use of semantic
technologies in information integration. Use of semantics enables information
and knowledge to be represented in a form understandable to both humans and
machines, and offers the ability to adapt more flexibly to change.
