Future industrial systems and applications are expected to be complex constellations of cyberphysical systems (CPSs) where intel l igent networked embedded devices play a pivotal role toward the realization of new sophisticated industrial scenarios. The prevalence of multifaceted devices enables new avenues for monitoring at large scale via Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, and, when coupled with the real-time analysis of massive amounts of data, it results in new insights that can enhance decision-making processes and provide a competitive business advantage. How to collect, process, analyze, and interpret big data is a challenge that affects all industries, and, if effectively addressed, it would offer numerous operational benefits. This article discusses some of the main architectural issues related to collecting and handling big data for analysis linked to IoT and cloud technologies in the industrial context. The aim is to provide a high-level introductory view of this topic, underpinned with examples from popular frameworks, and discuss open research questions and future directions.
Industry 4.0 vision and its mandated digital transformation are radically reshaping the way business is carried out and the way overall industrial processes and collaborations are operating. In this work, the objective is to analyze the current level of adoption of Industry 4.0, via the footprint available in industrial and academic research works. The analysis performed reveals insights on how Industry 4.0 has impacted and is still influencing research and innovation in industrial systems, services, and business approaches. It also reveals pertinent trends on key enabling features, technologies and challenges associated with this 4th industrial revolution, mainly focusing on the pathways for wider industrial adoption of Industry 4.0-compliant technologies and solutions.
Engineers of today are required to fulfil the growing demand of interdisciplinary skills required by society and industry. They are expected to possess not only profound disciplinary knowledge and skills, but also a range of methodical, social and personal competencies. A number of teaching modules have been delivered that aim to enhance those competencies in engineering students To evaluate quality of engineering modules an instrument is developed. This instrument measures acquired competencies, quality of the teaching process and settings. This paper presents the evaluation instrument and reports on its validity and reliability.
The article discusses an approach of creating an Industrial Cyber-Physical Platform in a research laboratory to support the application of Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems technologies in production processes. The research is based on the processes of small series production using injection molding with polymer forming parts made with the use of additive technology. The article considers the issues of improving physical production processes using information generated by identification of digitalized objects in the production system. The need for using process simulation systems and the possibility of processes improvement by collecting and analyzing digitalized data at all stages of technological manufacturing preparation are noted.
The growing importance of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in industry results in a large demand for CPS talent and know-how. The mission of academia is to address the needs of industry for CPS engineers and to develop a curriculum to fill the existing gaps in the qualification of the CPS workforce. This curriculum for a Master of Industrial Informatics has to take into account the particular needs of local industry in order to prepare human-forces capable to work and live with Industrial CPS (ICPS) and Industry 4.0-compliant environments. This paper introduces the ICPS field with emphasis in technological solutions and presents a Binational (Germany-Argentina) Master's Program in Industrial Informatics, mapped into the RAMI 4.0 specification, developed in conjunction between Universidad Tecnológica Nacional - Facultad Regional Santa Fe (Argentina) and University of Applied Sciences Emden/Leer (Germany) for teaching Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (ICPS) in both countries.
Today, data scientists in the manufacturing domain are confronted with various communication standards, protocols and technologies to save and transfer various kinds of data. These circumstances makes it hard to understand, find, access and extract data needed for use case depended applications. One solution could be a data pipelining approach enforced by a semantic model which describes smart manufacturing assets itself and the access to their data along their life-cycle. Many research contributions in smart manufacturing already came out with with reference architectures like the RAMI 4.0 or standards for meta data description or asset classification. Our research builds upon these outcomes and introduces a semantic model based DIN Spec 91345 (RAMI 4.0) compliant data pipelining approach with the smart manufacturing domain as exemplary use case. This paper has a focus on the developed semantic model used to enable an easy data exploration, finding, access and extraction of data, compatible with various used communication standards, protocols and technologies used to save and transfer data.
The Industrial Revolution, which originally involved the change from an agrarian and handicraft economy to a market dominated by factory mechanization during the early 18th century, has profoundly shaped the world. It has progressed through four disruptive phases: Industry 1.0 through Industry 4.0. Industry 1.0 encompassed early automation, while Industry 2.0 began at the end of the 19th century, when enormous technological advances were made, such as mass production, electrification, and new modes of transportation. Industry 3.0 began during the 1970s, a decade that gave rise to the electronics, telecommunications, and computing that enable full automation and robotics. Industry 4.0 kicked off at the dawn of the third millennium, marked by the ubiquitous use of Internet technologies, which have radically transformed how people, society, and industry interact.
This Special Section on ‘`Cloud-Edge Computing for Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet-of-Things’' is oriented to the dissemination of a few of those latest research and innovation results, covering many aspects of design, optimization, implementation, and evaluation of emerging cloud-edge solutions for CPS and IoT applications. The selected high-quality contributions cover a broad range of novel technologies and application scenarios in CPS and IoT. We hope that these accepted papers will produce long-lasting impacts, as well as stimulating and encouraging the international community to work on this exciting and impactful topic.
Industrial agents (IAs) [1] are multiagent-based systems (MASs) [2] that, for many years, have been advocated as a promising and realistic solution for an emerging set of industrial challenges. In the past, MASs fell into the scope of enterprise agility [3]-[8], and now, more than ever, pertain to the industrial digital transformation and sustainability spheres. MAS technology is being applied to several industrial applications in the cyber-physical system (CPS) context, namely, in smart production, smart electric grids, smart logistics, and smart health care [9]. To understand the future potential of IAs, one must first have a sufficiently concise view of the past and present efforts, i.e., understand their early applications and current directions. Such a view is necessary because, over the last decades, the concept of the IA has proven to be a bit of a moving target, adjusting to the needs, visions, and technologies of each era.
