The i4FS ecosystem

i4FS provides developers with information and documentation of the components and assets currently existing in the i4FS ecosystem.

This includes general information about the component itself and further documentation to support developers during the i4 Apps and other i4 Assets development.

Showcases

These showcases show what is possible to do with the resources provided by i4FS.

Components

All components, enablers and other resources are described in details with help of external documentation and how to use instructions.
i4Platform
A dockerised container environment running i4FS Apps and maintaining connectivity with factory components.

Understand the i4FS architecture

The environment is a ‘container’ and most outer component that contains the execution of all the features and functionalities, ie other i4FS components and/or i4 Assets/Apps.

Compose your i4Apps thanks to i4Assets

Components that will be used by other i4 Assets/Apps when they are executing or when they are trying to execute any of the i4FS resources. It is possible to distinguish four different modules depending on their functionality: Middleware, Data Management, I/O Toolkit, and Control modules.
i4Assets
Components helping i4FS Apps development like middlewares, data flow managers, I/O toolkits or security modules.
i4Tools

A set of tools enabling i4 Apps & Assets development like our core IDE, SDK, front-end editor, process designer & datamapping tool.

The i4 Toolkit enables an easy integration

i4 Apps aim to give solutions within the organisation, of all manufacturing sectors in all stages of the manufacturing and logistics processes: demand forecast, planning, supply, manufacturing, distribution, storage, replacement, and recycling.
