Deployment architecture for the local delivery of ML-Models to the industrial shop floor

Information processing systems with some form of machine-learned component are making their way into the industrial application and offer high potentials for increasing productivity and machine utilization. However, the systematic engineering approach to integrate and manage these machine-learned components is still not standardized and no reference architecture exist. In this paper we will present the building block of such an architecture which is developed with the ML4P project by Fraunhofer IFF.
