Specifications include, but are not limited to: The SM Innovation Platform™ The SM Innovation Platform (SMIP) is an environment that allows individual operational technology (OT) functional components to be able to interoperate, and for data to be orchestrated between these components. The core functionalities and capabilities of the SMIP include: • Connectivity (ability to connect to different data sources) • Secure Data access, management, exchange (ability to access, store, retrieve the structured data) • Interoperability (ability for OT components to access/interact with the structured data) • Data ingestion (ability to acquire/capture data) • Data Contextualization (ability to organize data into a structured form) • Workflow orchestration (ability to orchestrate data movement between OT components) • Platform management (ability to create instances of the platform for creating solutions) • Marketplace (ability for applications to be integrated into the platform for use in developing solutions) CESMII is in need of a Connector from on-premise data sources to the Smart Manufacturing Innovation Platform (SMIP) in the Cloud, that supports multiple computing platforms, while maintaining compatibility and security available in the current connector (SM Edge). The result of this effort should be a Connector service or application that runs on both Windows and Linux OS-devices, that can be easily extended with new ingress adapters.
