FAMILY OF CONCEPTS - Systemic Levels of Concrete Hardware System
| Categorized Class | 
Concrete Hardware SystemA Concrete Hardware System is a man made tangible artifact which exposes Hardware Capability(ies) and can produce and react to Physical Outcome Events. A Concrete Hardware System performs System Processes and participates to System Processes or to Business Processes. A Concrete Hardware System can embed Computing Systems. Together with its embedded Computing Systems, a Concrete Hardware System can also produce and react to Information Outcome Events. A Concrete Hardware System may be based on a set of Hardware Technology(ies). Examples: - Connected Drone with Online Payment App. - 3D printer. - Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) - Connected fridge providing an ordering Functionality and of course a freezing Hardware Capability. - Production equipment in an assembly line (metal forging machine) - Car |
