Cognitive manufacturing, as a paradigm for providing intelligence to manufacturing
systems and enabling interaction with operators presents limitations. Manufacturing system
requires to be adaptive to machine tools, manufacturing environments and operators. In this line,
the enactive approach to cognitive science provides a paradigm for the design of new biologically
inspired cognitive architectures. Likewise, the advantages of Key Enabling Technologies and
the concept of Industry 4.0 reveal new opportunities for increasing industrial innovation and
developing sustainable industrial environments. These technologies are appropriated to
overcome the limitations of cognitive manufacturing, because they can achieve the integration
of physical and digital systems focused on cyber-physical systems. In this work, an architecture
for the sustainable development of enactive manufacturing systems based on holonic paradigm
is proposed and its main associated informational model is described
