Bader","Maria Maleshkova"],"abstract":"A central vision of the Internet of Things is the representation of the\nphysical world in a consistent virtual environment. Especially in the context\nof smart factories the connection of the different, heterogeneous production\nmodules through a digital shop floor promises faster conversion rates,\ndata-driven maintenance or automated machine configurations for use cases,\nwhich have not been known at design time. Nevertheless, these scenarios demand\nIoT representations of all participating machines and components, which\nrequires high installation efforts and hardware adjustments.\n  We propose an incremental process for bringing the shop floor closer to the\nIoT vision. Currently the majority of systems, components or parts are not yet\nconnected with the internet and might not even provide the possibility to be\ntechnically equipped with sensors. However, those could be essential parts for\na realistic digital shop floor representation. We, therefore, propose Virtual\nRepresentations, which are capable of independently calculating a physical\nobject's condition by dynamically collecting and interpreting already available\ndata through RESTful Web APIs. The internal logic of such Virtual\nRepresentations are further adjustable at runtime, since changes to its\nrespective physical object, its environment or updates to the resource itself\nshould not cause any downtime.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1903.00718v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1903.00718v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"virtual-representations-for-iterative-iot","repo_url":"https://github.com/aifb/virtrep","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
