Integrating IEEE 1451 and IEC 61499 Standards for Enhanced Interoperability in Smart Manufacturing and Transportation Systems

Achieving interoperability in smart manufacturing and transportation systems is crucial for seamless data exchange and optimized decision-making processes. This paper presents an advanced integration approach combining the IEEE 1451 and IEC 61499 standards to address key interoperability challenges within these sectors. The proposed solution includes ontology mapping tools, real-time data translation services, and semantic reasoning at the fog computing layer, specifically designed to align sensor and actuator models. These innovations bridge theoretical frameworks with practical applications, significantly improving data model translation accuracy and real-time processing efficiency. Our findings highlight the potential of integrating IEEE 1451 and IEC 61499 standards to advance Industry 5.0 ecosystems, contributing to smarter, more responsive industrial systems and enhancing operational efficiency and decision-making capabilities.
