IDS, connectors and containers ready for integration with AUTOWARE

Industrial Data Spaces (IDS) are being more and more used and accepted by many industrial sectors as a common ground for reliable and trustful data exchange across complex networks. Z-BRE4K architecture relies on IDS Connectors to link all its components, thus creating a true Z-BRE4K environment. Herewith, the architecture of the dedicated IDS Connectors is designed and described for reference at the implementation stage. In specific, the internal modules to properly send/receive data in agreed formats and to relevant endpoints of the system are defined and its configuration proposed. Moreover, specific architectures for the System Adapters at the shopfloor/edge level are devised.
