Cyber-Physical Production Management

Abstract

Today a high adherence to delivery dates is the main logistic target for manufacturing companies. To control the increasing complexity of production planning and control manufacturing companies use IT systems. However, the applied IT systems often do not provide a reliable forecast of delivery dates and thus affect the required adherence to delivery dates. The paper describes a cyber-physical approach to optimize the production planning and control towards a reliable detailed planning. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the deviations between the production schedule of the IT system and the production processes in reality. With the knowledge of the revealed deviations and their causes the process of production planning can be adjusted towards a more dependable high resolution production planning and control.

Industry IoT Gateway for Cloud Connectivity

“…The software applications access the virtual representations of the devices only. This solution is more suited for the world representation management when using various physical devices [9,10]. This layer must implement ad hoc behavior and it must be manageable by central or distributed nodes [11,12].…”

“…Functionality for enhanced description of the device, its properties and measurements is added. [9,10]. The IoT gateway provides a complex representation of the instances.…”

Assessing the industrial readiness for adoption of industry 4.0 in Nepal: A structural equation model analysis

“…Improved productivity is integral to each and every industrialization. I4.0 is a fresh, popularly discussed and researched technical framework which may ultimately be a fourth industrial revolution because it brings great improvements to the sectors that are appropriate to smart and potential industry sectors (Schuh et al, 2013;Durak and Saritepeci, 2018). The new trend brings combine cyber and mobile experiences via cyber-physical system CPS technology and opens up numerous possible opportunities which require companies to implement the new manufacturing framework to optimize efficiency and productivity (Zhou et al, 2015).…”

Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) Systems: A Systematic Literature Review

“…However, APS systems lack of a part of flexibility, such as the control strategies for sequencing that are permanently defined. The current APS systems cannot provide the optimal configuration of the control strategy based on the current situation [61]. In addition, a solution of the possible combinations of control strategies regarding the dependencies of individual jobs and machines is too complex for humans [32].…”
