Plenary Lecture 1: Cyber physical production systems/industry 4.0-challenges in research and industrial application

摘要

In order to be prepared for future challenges facing industrial production domain, CyberPhysical Production Systems (CPPS) consisting of intelligent entities which collaborate and exchange information globally are being proclaimed as the 4th industrial revolution. In this context, the service-oriented architecture as well as agents are often proposed. Agent technologies have been studied intensively in academia within the last decades and applications are recently available successfully to the production domain. The applicability of agent technology and smart data for realizing CPPS with real time and dependability requirements is discussed and shown based on selected scenarios. The talk concludes with opportunities and open research issues that need to be faced in order to achieve CPPSs in the context of Industry 4.0.
