Manufacturing, IoT, Field Service & Assets - Analysis

Planning-layer analysis for category 20. It groups the 50 candidate services into capabilities, recommends what becomes a standalone service versus a module, and captures domain, interface, and non-functional notes. For the plain item list see the browse page.

Scope & Bounded Context

  • Primary bounded context: Manufacturing & IoT
  • Group: vertical
  • Default wave / cycle: Phase 4 · Cycle 4: AI Interaction & Verticals
  • Items: 50 candidates

This category is anchored to the ConnectSoft DDD baseline in the SaaS framework DDD blueprint and the service classification model.

Classification Breakdown

Classification Count
Module-in-service 45
Platform Product 4
Portal/UI Module 1

Anti-fragmentation stance

Per ADR-0011, the 45 module candidates below are delivered inside the Manufacturing & IoT bounded-context service, not as separate microservices. Only the 4 platform/service candidates justify an independent runtime.

Standalone Service / Platform Candidates

ID Service Tier Status
CS-SVC-0951 Manufacturing Execution System 4 Planned
CS-SVC-0962 IoT Device Telemetry Platform 4 Planned
CS-SVC-0969 Asset Management Platform 4 Planned
CS-SVC-1000 Operations Command Center 4 Planned

Portal / UI Modules

  • Shop Floor Dashboard (CS-SVC-0971)

Domain, Interfaces & Data Ownership

  • Aggregates are owned by the Manufacturing & IoT context; cross-context reads go through published contracts, never shared databases.
  • Integration is event-first (outbox + integration events) per the event-driven mindset.
  • APIs are contract-first and versioned through the API & Integration context.

Non-Functional Posture

  • Multi-tenancy & edition-awareness: required for all serious candidates.
  • Security: Standard baseline; secrets via the platform secret store; least privilege.
  • Compliance: standard audit logging.
  • Observability: OpenTelemetry traces, metrics, and structured logs.

MVP vs Future

  • MVP (Tier 0-1): see roadmap
  • Future (Tier 4-5): Manufacturing Execution System, Production Planning Service, Work Order Management Service, Bill of Materials Service, Routing Management Service, Quality Management Service, Non-Conformance Management, Corrective Action Service

Open Questions

  • Which module candidates, if any, develop independent scaling or ownership needs that would justify promotion to a standalone service?
  • Where do this category's contracts overlap with adjacent contexts, and who owns them?
