TL;DR: The approach presented in this paper implements a development process including the aspects (i) (iv) using the new data exchange format AutomationML, which serves as an enabling technology and has the potential to change future development processes and may trigger the development of new, better integrated tools.
Abstract: The planning, testing and integration of modern automation systems is becoming more and more a bottleneck in the construction of new production facilities. This is due to the facts that plants grow in complexity and that modern automation systems are highly distributed and comprise complex components.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse existing research literature on additive manufacturing application in the industrial sector and try to determine the open issues related to this theme, focusing on the mechanical and chemical characteristics of the materials produced with AM and the management themes.
Abstract: The new technology named additive manufacturing (AM) is gaining significance in the industrial sector due to its capacity to define new improvements in the design, production and logistical issues related to a specific product. This new area in industrial engineering is becoming operative but is still not easily applicable to all types of production systems. Many research and practical contributions have been developed in the last few years, but a unique answer for a possibility to be applied to the industrial sector has not yet been derived. This paper aims to analyse existing research literature on AM application in the industrial sector and tries to determine the open issues related to this theme. Here the themes on the mechanical and chemical characteristics of the materials produced with AM and the management theme are examined.
