Implementing Cyber-Physical Systems in Manufacturing Systems

Abstract

By employing a constant flow of information from the production processes, manufacturing cyber-physical systems (CPS) is a step ahead of industrial automation from a traditional manufacturing system to a well-networked and adaptable manufacturing system. By learning from the data obtained from real-time and non-real-time production processes that can operate independently, this system can optimize itself and adapt to the changes. With the advent of IoT and CPS, a connection between machine to machine and from machine to human has been established in industrial communication systems, resulting in more efficient and flexible systems that have decreased production time and improved forecasting capacities. CPS focuses on how physical systems and computing networks can communicate. It is applied to IIoT, cyber security, and smart manufacturing. This chapter aims to provide an overview of CPS deployment in manufacturing. It discusses CPS development, CPS adoption, and CPS requirements for Industry 5.0. Finally, the main CPS production problems are also discussed.
