Abstract:
The exponential technological revolution has had a positive impact on industrial companies, providing them
with plenty of opportunities to improve their production flows and optimize their costs. This revolution has led
to contemporary computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) that consists of linking the shop floor systems to
the high business layer. And in order to do that, there has been some research to define a reference architecture
to cover all the use cases. This paper presents a literature review of CIM architectures. The purpose of this
review is to enumerate the different aspects covered by the different architectures in the literature and the
approaches proposed to handle them.
1 INTRODUCTION
Competition and rapidly changing customer demands
are calling for continuous changes in manufactur-
ing environments. For that, the competitive com-
panies had to effectively handle the concurrent evo-
lution of products, processes and production sys-
tems (Farid Meziane, 2000). As a result, companies
started to integrate information technologies from
other fields in the manufacturing process. This change
has had several names such as Smart Manufacturing
(Li et al., 2019) and Computer integrated manufactur-
ing (Thomas Hedberg, 2016).
This trend consists of two major elements: Com-
puterizing the industrial processes, and facilitating the
exchange of data. This can be achieved through inte-
grating every system in the manufacturing process in
the same architecture in order to create a fully con-
nected plant, where every retrieved data is reusable to
optimize the various business processes. This is what
we call a smart factory (Li et al., 2017). To achieve
that, we should ensure the connection between the dif-
ferent levels of the plant, from the shop floor level
that contains the production machines, to the highest
level of the plant where the company’s strategies are
established. This connection is challenged by the in-
herent difficulty of aggregating and applying context
to data from heterogeneous systems across the pro-
duction life cycle (Tolio et al., 2013). Therefore, the
researches have been able to propose several solutions
that are able to encompass all of the company’s major
IT systems into one architecture while ensuring the
interchangeability among them.
In this paper, we present a literature review on the
contributions regarding Computer integrated Manu-
facturing Architectures. The main objective of this
review is to go over the literature in this field between
2015 and 2019 and to identify the number and the na-
ture of contributions in the collected papers, as well
as the different aspects covered by them. We identi-
fied six aspects that we deemed essential to handle in
a contribution: Data integration, Systems integration,
Security, Monitoring & Data analysis, Mobility and
finally Cloud computing.
This paper is sequenced as follows: Section 2 ex-
plains the literature review methodology we will fol-
low. In Section 3, we analyze and discuss the results
found against the predefined research questions. Sec-
tion 4 presents some limitations of the study. Finally,
Section 5 concludes the paper.
2 RESEARCH STRATEGY
Through time, researchers have been able to propose
several architectures and models for computer inte-
grated manufacturing that can have the ability to han-
dle multi systems data. To analyse these solutions,
we decided to conduct a review of the different ap-
proaches proposed in the literature. For this pur-
pose, we followed the same stages and steps of a Sys-
tematic Literature Review (SLR) as recommended in
Kitchenham’s guidelines (Kitchenham, 2007).
The SLR protocol is composed of six main steps:
1) Identification of research questions and Research
Strings, 2) Search in the Data Sources, 3) Definition

of Inclusion and Exclusion criteria, 4) Data Refine-
ment, 5) Data Extraction, and 6) Data Analysis. The
first five steps of the followed protocol are detailed in
the rest of this section, while the last step is detailed
in Section 3.
2.1 Search Questions and Strings
The main goal of this review is to analyse the existing
studies on CIM Architectures and to scrape the dif-
ferent aspects covered by each architecture. For this
reason, we formulated the three following questions:
RQ1. What are the different architectures pro-
posed for CIM to handle production data integra-
tion in the literature?
RQ2. What are the types of contributions regard-
ing the systems interoperability in a CIM environ-
ment?
RQ3. What are the different aspects that have
been covered by the existing approaches in the lit-
erature?
Based on these questions, we constructed our
search string by using the main keywords of our re-
search as well as including the synonyms and related
terms. Then, we concatenated the alternative key-
words using Boolean ”OR” and linked the main terms
using Boolean ”AND”. As a result, we obtained the
following search string :
(Software OR Systems OR Manufacturing Execution
OR MES) AND (Architecture OR Framework OR Ap-
proach OR Model) AND (Computer Integrated Manu-
facturing OR Smart Manufacturing OR Industry 4.0)
2.2 Data Sources
In this step, we used the constructed String as a search
input in the most commonly used Digital libraries,
namely IEEE Explore, Science Direct, ACM Digital
Library and SpringerLink. Due to the multitude of
search features provided by these digital sources, we
did not use a single search string for all the Digital
libraries. Instead, we derived a specific search string
for each library and we carried out some additional
actions to get equivalent results from the different li-
braries.
2.3 Data Selection
The main idea of the systematic review is to collect
relevant papers regarding a specific subject. Accord-
ingly, we used a staged selection process that follows
a number of predefined criteria. In the first stage, a
paper was included only if:
It was a full article, a book, a chapter or a thesis.
The title or the abstract of the paper contained the
keywords related to the search.
After the first stage, the number of papers found
was 4073, distributed as follows, 1737 from IEEE Ex-
plore, 1776 from Science Direct, 402 from Springer-
Link, 158 from ACM Digital Library. In the second
stage, we kept only the papers that introduced a solu-
tion for Computer integrated manufacturing architec-
ture. As a result, we had 1462 papers left at this stage.
During the third stage, we excluded papers that does
not meet the following criteria :
The paper is written in a language other than En-
glish.
The publication date is previous to 2015.
The paper is a short article, a standard, a poster,
an editorial, a tutorial.
The paper is duplicated.
After the third stage, we obtained 74 papers. To
refine our study, we had to follow through a quality
based selection on the remaining papers. For that, we
defined two additional criteria :
Number of citations : We defined a minimum
number of citations required that varies for each
year.
Work continuity: If the work described in the pa-
per does not have a continuity in recent papers,
then the paper is excluded.
We investigated each of the 74 papers, and after ap-
plying the quality based selection, we kept the 29 pa-
pers presented in table 2.
2.4 Data Extraction and Synthesis
We fully read each of the 29 papers in order to extract
the required data. To help us answer the predefined
questions, we had to formalize the extracted data,
hence we defined a set of attributes to fill for each
paper. These attributes are : 1) Paper title, 2) Authors
of the paper, 3) Publication year, 4) Paper type (i. e.
Journal paper, conference paper, thesis, book, chap-
ter, workshop paper), 5) Database (i. e. IEEE, ACM,
SpringerLink, Science Direct, Google Scholar), 6)
Source (e. g. Journal name, conference name), 7)
Research type (e. g. Review, Approach evaluation,
Solution proposal, Experiment, Case study), 8) Key-
words specified in the paper, 9) Short description of
the paper, 10) Contribution (e. g. Model, Framework,
Tool, Method, Algorithm), and 11) Domain of appli-
cation.

3 RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
3.1 Demographic Data
Demographic data consists of the metadata of the
selected papers. In our review, we focused on
three types of metadata: the database, the year of
publication and the source.
Data Source
Figure 1: Papers distribution per Data source.
Figure 1 represents the percentage of papers
per database. Among the 29 papers selected using
the staged process, we identify 1 paper from ACM
digital Library, 4 papers from Google Scholar, 8 from
Springer, 6 from IEEE and finally 10 from Science
Direct. We can clearly notice that Science Direct is
the database with the largest number of relevant pa-
pers with a percentage of 34%. Springer comes next
with a percentage of 28%, which can be explained
by the number of papers initially retrieved from these
two databases (402 for SpringerLink and 1776 for
Science Direct). For the other databases, we can
notice that Google Scholar kept the same percentage
in the end, 14% compared to the first selection,
and the same thing goes for ACM Digital Library
with 3% in the beginning. For SpringerLink, in the
beginning, the initially selected papers represented
only 9%, but in the end they represented 28% from
all the papers.
Two conclusions can be drawn from this first
analysis. First, the quality of papers is not pro-
portional to the initially selected number. In fact,
a database may contain a huge number of papers
related to a specific area, but most of them cannot
be qualified as relevant. Second, the search engines
proposed by the selected databases are not perfect,
which is why the initially selected papers do not
correspond to our search String.
Year of publication
Figure 2: Papers distribution per publication year.
As mentioned before, the search was carried out for
the period 2015-2019. The diagram presented in Fig-
ure 2 shows the number of papers published per year.
We can clearly notice that the number of publications
has been changing from 3 to 4 publications per year
between the year 2015 and 2017. The peak year was
2018 with 12 publications.
Publication Source
After analysing the data sources of the selected
papers, their types and the number of papers for each
source, we have found that there are 25 sources;
13 conferences and 12 journals. The number of
papers published in all the conferences is 17, which
represents 58.62%. The Springer Confederated
International Conferences, ”On the Move to Mean-
ingful Internet Systems” alone has 3 papers. There
are 2 conferences for which we can find 2 papers:
”Springer Business Modeling and Software Design”
and ”Science Direct International Federation of
Automatic Control”. For journals, we have 12 papers
selected; which represents 41.37%.
3.2 Contributions Analysis
After carefully reading each of the 29 papers, we fo-
cused our study on the papers content and the pro-
posed contributions. As a result, the first remark we
have had is that 26 papers give a proposition; which
represents 89.66 % of the selected papers. The 3 re-
maining articles are reviews and analyses of existing
approaches.
Table 1 sums up all the types of contributions pro-
posed by the selected papers, in addition to the num-
ber of papers associated with them. For papers that
propose solutions, we can distinguish 4 types of con-
tributions: Tools/Prototypes, Frameworks, Architec-
tures and Models/Meta-models.

3.2.1 Review and Analysis
Many researchers have attempted to sum up the cur-
rent state of research on a particular topic related to
CIM architectures. For instance, Xu and his col-
leagues presented a state of art on Industry 4.0, the
new technological trends and the architectures that are
related to it (Li Da Xu, 2018). Li and his colleagues
did an overview on the smart manufacturing stan-
dard frameworks and models, and they listed some
of the standardization roadmaps such as Integration
of Industrialization & Informatization (iI&I), Manu-
facturing 2025 and Industry 4.0 of Germany (Li et al.,
2017).
3.2.2 Tools / Prototypes
Many papers have provided tools and prototypes in
order to validate the solutions they proposed. These
tools can address a specific use case or several use
cases. For example, Menezes and his colleagues pre-
sented a Real Time RFID-enabled MES dedicated to
medium and small businesses. This tool provides
the capability to write and read manufacturing data
(Sherwin Menezes, 2018). Choi and his colleagues
came up with a Web-based Platform based on third
party technologies and services for smart manufac-
turing assessment in order to improve planning, with
the capability to learn and recommend improvements
(SangSu Choi, 2018).
3.2.3 Frameworks
Some studies propose a semi-complete’ or special
purpose architectures that can be specialized to pro-
duce custom systems, or what we call ”frameworks”.
In this sense, Caggiano and his colleagues’ Cloud
Based Framework enables smart monitoring of ma-
chining in order to offer real time diagnosis (Alessan-
dra Caggiano, 2016). Tao and his colleagues pre-
sented the Data-Driven Smart manufacturing Frame-
work which enables the usage of the data collected
through the manufacturing process in order to in-
crease its efficiency (Tao et al., 2018).
3.2.4 Architectures
A system architecture is the conceptual model that de-
fines the components, the structure and the behavior
of a system (Clements, 1996). Among the analyzed
papers, twelve have proposed architectures in relation
of our research. For example, Sprock and his col-
leagues proposed an architecture for smart manufac-
turing to bridge the gap between system data and anal-
ysis models (Timothy Sprock, 2015). Tang proposed
the Cloud-Assisted Self-Organized Architecture (CA-
SOA) to build a vertically enabled system for data
consolidation (Tang et al., 2018).
3.2.5 Models / Meta-models
Systems modeling is the interdisciplinary study of the
use of models to conceptualize and construct systems
in business and IT development (Wegmann, 2007).
An example of the models proposed in literature is
the one introduced by Khakifirooz and his colleagues.
The objective of this system dynamic model is to
describe links between the components of “Industry
4.0” and how they influence each other (Khakifirooz
et al., 2018). Kim and his colleagues also presented
a conceptual model; the Smart-MES (S-MES) dedi-
cated to rolling stock manufacturing (Tae Hyun Kim,
2019).

3.3 Aspects Discussed
Based on the 29 analyzed papers, we extracted six as-
pects that were taken into consideration when propos-
ing a CIM architecture. These Aspects are: Systems
Integration, Data Integration, Security, Monitoring &
Data Analysis, Mobility and Cloud Friendly. Figure
3 shows the aggregation of papers per aspects.
Figure 3: The number of papers by artefact.
Table 2 presents a comparison between papers de-
pending on the aspects they cover.
3.3.1 Systems Integration
System Integration is the capability of a solution to
ensure the integration and the cooperation between
different IT systems in the same architecture. In
works dealing with systems integration, the systems
are sometimes limited to MES due to the crucial
role it plays (Wei Zhao, 2018),(Mohammed et al.,
2018),(Sherwin Menezes, 2018),(Tae Hyun Kim,
2019). The other contributions deal with IT systems
in a general overview. Among the solutions proposed
in this context is Service Oriented Smart Manufac-
turing (SOSM) Framework.It aims at facilitating the
integration of smart manufacturing systems based on
service-oriented technologies (Fei Tao, 2019). To val-
idate their approach, the authors provided a use case
on Milk industry. Thames and Schaefer proposed the
Software-Defined Cloud Manufacturing (SDCM), a
networked model that exploits on-demand access to
a shared collection of diversified and distributed man-
ufacturing resources (Lane Thames, 2016).
3.3.2 Data Integration
Data integration consists of applying context to data
from heterogeneous systems across the production
life cycle. We can remark that this aspect has been
covered by all of the 29 articles. In this vein, the
PERFORM system architecture was proposed to es-
tablish an adequate middleware in order to connect
industrial field devices with upper IT systems (Leit
˜
ao
et al., 2017). Theorin and his colleagues proposed
an event Driven Architecture called LISA (Line In-
formation System Architecture) for rapid integration
of smart services in the manufacturing environment
(Theorin et al., 2017).
3.3.3 Security
Security is the ability of the proposed solution to pro-
vide secured connection for systems’ integration and
data exchange. This aspect has been covered in 7
contributions, however, it has been just highlighted
as a prerequisite and there have been no propositions
on how to implement it (Lane Thames, 2016) (Mo-
hammed et al., 2018) (Lia et al., 2018).
3.3.4 Monitoring and Data Analysis
Monitoring and data analysis consists of utilizing col-
lected manufacturing data to improve productivity. In
this aspect, we can distinguish two types of data. The
first one is Real-time Data used generally for monitor-
ing. This data type is covered in all MES-related con-
tributions due to the real-time monitoring functional-
ities the MES provides. The second type is Historic
Data used for Data analysis. Among the contributions
that cover this type is the architecture proposed by
Kavakli and his colleagues.It supports decision mak-
ing in the context of disruptive events in manufac-
turing (Kavakli et al., 2018). Bousdekis and his col-
leagues proposed a model to integrate real-time Data
and to store it, in order to be used as an historic data
for predictive maintenance (Bousdekis et al., 2015).
3.3.5 Mobility
Mobility is the ability to integrate IT systems on
phones and tablets, generally for data monitoring.
Among the papers that cover this aspect, the RFID-
enabled MES integrated to an android-Based interface
was proposed by Menezes and his colleagues to write
and read real time manufacturing Data. The tool they
proposed is dedicated especially to small and medium
sized manufacturing enterprises (Sherwin Menezes,
2018).
3.3.6 Cloud Computing
This aspect concerns the capability of the solution
to ensure the usage of cloud computing for some or
all the functionalities. For example, Weihraucha and
his colleagues propose a model to enhance agility
and productivity using a Cloud-Based Platform (Den-
nis Weihraucha, 2018). Caggiano and his colleagues
presented a Cloud Based Framework to enable smart
monitoring of machining in order to offer real time
diagnosis (Alessandra Caggiano, 2016).

4 LIMITATIONS OF THE
REVIEW
In this review, the main idea was to select the maxi-
mum number of pertinent papers regarding Computer
integrated manufacturing architectures. Nevertheless,
the results of the review could have been affected by
some limitations. First, the search systems of the dif-
ferent databases are not fully accurate; a huge num-
ber of papers initially retrieved are not related to the
review scope. As for the data selection process, the
application of exclusion and quality assessment cri-
teria have caused us to ignore some interesting ap-
proaches, because they were not well cited, or be-
cause they were published in short papers.
5 CONCLUSIONS
Nowadays, it has become a must for industrial com-
panies to digitize their processes, in order to keep up
with the customers’ demands and to optimize their
costs. This digitization is done trough connecting the
real world to the virtual one, using cyber physical sys-
tems, data sensors and IT Systems. However, the us-
age of several systems and technologies in the same
environment is very challenging, due to the dissimi-
larities between them and particularities of each one
of them. For that, researchers have been able to pro-
pose architectures that are capable of encompassing
every system in the CIM context. In this paper, we
presented the results of a literature review whose main
objectives were to investigate the different approaches
proposed to handle computer integrated manufactur-
ing architecture between 2015 and 2019, to identify
the nature of contributions in this area and to deter-
mine the different aspects covered by them. At the
beginning, we identified 4073 papers retrieved from
four digital libraries. Based on a set of exclusion cri-
teria and quality assessment criteria, 29 relevant pa-
pers were selected.
Several findings have been drawn from this re-
view. First, we noticed that 58% of the contributions
propose a Design oriented solution such as architec-
tures or models. We believe that tools and frame-
KMIS 2020 - 12th International Conference on Knowledge Management and Information Systems
254
work must be given more attention, because without
proper tools, it is difficult to validate the proposed
approaches. Concerning the aspects covered by the
selected papers, all studies have covered the data in-
tegration aspect. Data analysis and monitoring have
also been covered by 16 papers and Systems integra-
tion comes third, with 15 papers. We think it is nor-
mal that these two aspects are the most covered as-
pects, due to the fact that computer integrated man-
ufacturing is all about connected systems, data inter-
changeability and reusability. Cloud computing has
been covered as well by 9 contributions, which is less
than what we expected, in view of the opportunities
that are allowed by it. Thus, much work remains to
be done to cover other aspects of CIM. As for Secu-
rity, little attention has been given to this aspect in
research. Yet it is a crucial prerequisite to ensure the
sustainability of the business. Mobility has been cov-
ered the least, with only 3 contributions, despite it has
being an important aspect in the era of industry 4.0,
which makes it besides security potential research ar-
eas.
