Abstract: Industry 4.0. is introducing the process of Smartification, which is the process of adding technology to everyday, nontechnological objects, enhancing them, and granting them new uses. And since said smartified objects can be accessed, and controlled remotely through computers, it opens up the chance to enhance equipments during runtime. Best assets provided during runtime include monitoring the correct execution of the program and signaling the maintenance system when needed. This system can also be connected to a platform capable of giving the user enough information about the equipment, and tools to report back feedback to developers. This data, along with normal user records is stored in a database, and further data studies and analysis can be performed to profile users and suggest further upgrades through updates. The goal is to present a framework capable of providing the main considerations, concerns and concepts for runtime exploration capable of enhancing and adapting any equipment or object.
