Review of Industry 4. 0 in relation to SO-PC-Pro When we look at the proposed vision of I4.0 we can set out general goals for the application of all kinds of sensors and support data analytics. • To make divergent systems work together reliably and efficiently • Embedding technologies in production systems; in ever smaller partial systems • Transform mechatronic into cyber physical through widespread information systems creating a system of systems “In contrast to the early concepts of automation, human beings are not to be “optimized out” of the production processes, but rather to be given an increasingly important role: The CPPSs are to supply them with compressed information suitably derived from the complex interrelationships and communicated in a personalized manner as the basis for their intervention in the process. In this way, not only a new form of cooperation between machines and parts of machines, but also one of cooperation between machines and human beings arises.”- from THE GERMAN STANDARDIZATION ROADMAP INDUSTRIE 4.0 “The semi-finished products and parts involved in the manufacturing process are to possess “artificial intelligence”, or at least information on themselves and suitable means of communication, and therefore themselves constitute cyber-physical systems. These “smart products” are to be embedded in the process as a whole and in extreme cases control not only their own logistical path through production, but rather the entire production workflow that concerns them.” From THE GERMAN STANDARDIZATION ROADMAP INDUSTRIE 4.0 I4.0 will apply sensors to all types of data flow Machine to Machine Human Machine System wide Internet of Things End to End Internet of Things/Services/people will be a key aspect where sensors must provide the glue and data analytics the fibre, that together reinforces worker empowerment and assured high quality productivity of innovative products. Using the Internet of Things and Services in manufacturing, the Internet of Things and Services makes it possible to create networks incorporating the entire manufacturing process that convert factories into a smart environment. Cyber-Physical Production Systems comprise smart machines, warehousing systems and production facilities that have been developed digitally and feature end-to-end ICT-based integration, from inbound logistics to production, marketing, outbound logistics and service. This not only allows production to be configured more flexibly but also taps into the opportunities off...
