Abstract

This thesis evaluates whether the microservice architecture can be used to implement a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and gives a example of how such a system could look like. It describes in detail the challenges a microservice architecture has to deal with, and presents established solutions and technologies to face them. Two established MES architectural designs norms VDI-5600 and DIN-62264 have been evaluated in regards of their applicability to a microservice architecture. This thesis also describes eight MES microservices, and describes input, function, benefit and result for each service individually. Then a comparison, between the non-functional requirements of Manufacturing Execution Systems and non-functional properties of microservice systems was made. At last, as a proof of concept a prototype of a MES Personnel Management was implemented.
