The framework has a hierarchical architecture that methodically organizes production into distinct abstraction levels: processes, tasks and skills, and microservices. This layered architecture simplifies the modeling of complex biomanufacturing production and ensures that each component can be individually updated without disrupting the overall system. Furthermore, the digital twin framework integrates both manual and automated operations within a unified system, accommodating varied requirements of diverse tasks in production.

While the concept of decentralization has been discussed in the context of systems and organization theory, green supply chain and life cycle management for quite some time, recent studies suggest that especially biointelligent manufacturing systems might represent a promising technological opportunity to truly realize this goal.

This paper is intended to provide a foundation for the advancement of the research area by analyzing the state of knowledge and uncovering logical misconceptions.
