Extension of the approach to the communications within the whole supply chain of the Microfactory
Coordinated by
I-FEVS
Once the secure communication with a vehicle has been demonstrated for remote FW update, it is straightforward to extend it to a general Service-Over-the-Air architecture and even further.
One of the key points in I-FEVS view is to propose the Microfactory concept to attract funding interest and provide the possibility to offer turn-key low investment facilities for
a flexible production of urban mobility solutions based on electric vehicles with the collaboration of Comau and Magnetto Automotive.
The Microfactory itself, together with its supply chain and the fleets of manufactured vehicles represents a Cyber-Physical Production System (CPPS) that can be seen as a network of linked nodes to which secure communication perfectly fits.
Thus, I-FEVS perspective is to extend the previous result on secure communication to cloud CPPSs, especially to the Microfactory one.

Fail-operation clock synchronization methodology
Synchronization loss can occur due to many reasons, either because of a device or link failure or due to a targeted attack on the reference node, which supplies the corrected time to the network’s nodes.
