There are many challenges for building up the smart factory, among them to deal with distributed data, high volume of information, and wide diversity of devices and applications. In this sense, Cyber-Physical System (CPS) concept emerges to virtualize and integrate factory resources. Based on studies that use Multi-Agent System as the core of a CPS, in this paper, we show that many resources of the factories can be modelled following the well-known Agents and Artifacts method of integrating agents and their environment. To enhance the interoperability of this system, we use Apache Camel framework, a middleware to define routes allowing the integration with a wide range of endpoints using different protocols. Finally, we present a Camel component for artifacts, designed in this research, illustrating its use.

通过 Apache Camel 集成工业制品和代理

构建智能工厂面临许多挑战，其中包括处理分布式数据、海量信息以及广泛多样的设备和应用。从这个意义上说，网络物理系统（CPS）概念应运而生，以虚拟化和整合工厂资源。基于使用多代理系统作为 CPS 核心的研究，在本文中，我们表明工厂的许多资源可以按照众所周知的代理和工件方法来建模，该方法将代理及其环境集成在一起。为了增强该系统的互操作性，我们使用 Apache Camel 框架，这是一个定义路由的中间件，允许与使用不同协议的各种端点进行集成。最后，我们展示了在本研究中设计的用于工件的 Camel 组件，说明了它的使用。
