In the engineering and manufacturing domain, there is currently an atmosphere of departure to a new era of digitized production. In different regions, initiatives in these directions are known under different names, such as industrie du…
The growing trends in automation, Internet of Things, big data and cloud computing technologies have led to the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), where it is possible to visualize and identify patterns and insights, which results…
The rapid development of Industry 4.0 technologies requires robust and comprehensive standardization to ensure interoperability, safety and efficiency in the Industry of the Future. This paper examines the fundamental role and functionality…
The Industry 4.0 refers to a industrial ecology which will merge the information system, physical system and service system into an integrate platform. Since now the industrial designers either conceive the physical part of products, or…
The transition to Industry 4.0 requires smart manufacturing systems that are easily configurable and provide a high level of flexibility during manufacturing in order to achieve mass customization or to support cloud manufacturing. To…
The term Industry 4.0, which refers to the fourth industrial revolution, aims at the digitalization of industries, including all kinds of production assets. With the help of these, so-called industrial cyber-physical systems, which form the…
Industry 4.0 describes an adaptive and changeable production, where its factory cells have to be reconfigured at very short intervals, e.g. after each workpiece. Furthermore, this scenario cannot be realized with traditional devices, such…
Today, one of the biggest challenges for digital transformation in the Industry 4.0 paradigm is the lack of mutual understanding between the academic and the industrial world. On the one hand, the industry fails to apply new technologies…
A major determinant of the quality of software systems is the quality of their requirements, which should be both understandable and precise. Most requirements are written in natural language, good for understandability but lacking in…
The interconnected smart devices and industrial internet of things devices require low-latency communication to fulfill control objectives despite limited resources. In essence, such devices have a time-critical nature but also require a…
There is a lack of formalism for some key foundational concepts in systems engineering. One of the most recently acknowledged deficits is the inadequacy of systems engineering practices for engineering intelligent systems. In our previous…
The flexibility claimed by the next generation production systems induces a deep modification of the behaviour and the core itself of the control systems. Over-connectivity and data management abilities targeted by Industry 4.0 paradigm…
Industry 4.0 offers many possibilities for creating highly efficient and flexible manufacturing. To create such advantages, highly automated and thus digitized processes and systems are required. Here, most technologies known from the…
Industrial IoT ecosystems bring together sensors, machines and smart devices operating collaboratively across industrial environments. These systems generate large volumes of heterogeneous, high-velocity data streams that require…
Machine learning techniques have been widely applied in Internet companies for various tasks, acting as an essential driving force, and feature engineering has been generally recognized as a crucial tache when constructing machine learning…
Industry 4.0 or Industrial IoT both describe new paradigms for seamless interaction between humans and machines. Both concepts rely on intelligent, inter-connected cyber-physical production systems that are able to control the process flow…
In this position paper, we explore the socio-technical interplay of Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 is an industrial plan that aims at automating the production process by the adoption of advanced leading-edge technologies down the assembly…
Semantic data and knowledge infrastructures must reconcile two fundamentally different forms of representation: natural language, in which most knowledge is created and communicated, and formal semantic models, which enable…
This paper sheds light on the current development in major industrialized countries (such as Germany, Japan, and Switzerland): the trend towards highly-integrated and autonomous production systems. The question is how such a transition of a…
The future grid will be highly complex and decentralized, requiring sophisticated coordination across numerous human and software agents that manage distributed resources such as Demand Response (DR). Realizing this vision demands…
