A CPPS Architecture approach for Industry 4.0

TLDR

Industry 4.0 demands seamless integration of current and new technologies, and Cyber‑Physical Production Systems (CPPS) are central to future production, requiring integrated architectures for global production systems. The study analyzes CPPS requirements and proposes a model‑based architecture and technologies to realize the concept. The authors develop a model‑based architecture and technology framework to implement CPPS in production systems.

Abstract

New demands, coming from the industry 4.0 concept of the near future production systems have to be fulfilled in the coming years. Seamless integration of current technologies with new ones is mandatory. The concept of Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) is the core of the new control and automation distributed systems. However, it is necessary to provide the global production system with integrated architectures that make it possible. This work analyses the requirements and proposes a model-based architecture and technologies to make the concept a reality.
