Abstract

The development of industry 4.0 and smart energy ITComponents relies on highly standardized communication protocols to reach vendor-independent interoperability. The interoperability is required to build complex systems without vendor lock-in and stay in operation for many years without frequent hardware changes. However, the classical standardization and certification processes for such communication protocols are typically incompatible with modern agile software development processes. This increases the complexity of building microservice-based systems or cloud-native solutions in these domains. To cope with that, we propose an agile method for the standardization of communication protocols. We show that this approach will be compatible with agile development processes and present a cloud-native certification service that works within a continuous integration and deployment pipeline, seamlessly. This will support the efficiency of building microservice and cloud-native application for the industry 4.0 and smart energy domain.
