Integration of ontologies to support Control as a Service in an Industry 4.0 context

Cloud-based control system: a bibliometric analysis

“…Early research topics was focused on: a) network capability in regard to the communication requirement and security for CCS mentioned in [30], [47], [51], [72]; b) use cases for delivering automation tasks as cloud services to lower levels mentioned in [49], [50]; c) framework integration from the cloud to lower levels automation system [28], [62], [75]; and d) big data processing and application mentioned in [36], [45], [55]. Recent trend in research topics include: a) control system architecture [26], [56], [63], [74]; b) stability analysis [17], [43]; c) controller algorithm and security evaluation [61], [67], [76]; and d) approach on intelligent manufacturing [25], [34], [75], [77]. − RQ2: which countries, publishers, and institutions have focused most on CCS?…”

“…IEEE, Springer, and Elsevier were the top three journals with the most documents published in both searches and analysis. In term of impact factor, Elsevier emerged at top with the highest impact factor of 31.14, and Springer in the second place even though these two publishers had smaller number of articles which are 7 articles ( [33], [46]- [48], [51], [65], [68]) and 8 articles ( [13], [26], [32], [34], [38], [41], [58], [63]), respectively. Hence, we can note that authors prefer to work with well-known publishers in the scientific community.…”

Organizational Agility in Industry 4.0: A Systematic Literature Review

“…The researchers who theorize agility as a consequence of I4.0 technologies' implementation conclude that technologies such as industrial internet of things, cloud computing, machine to machine communication, Cyber-physical system and big data increase an organization's ability and flexibility to manage uncertainty in consumer demand and supply chain [59,60]. This review allowed us to find that due to implementation of I4.0 technologies, organizations achieve agility in the shop floor, organizational facility, workforce and management [61,62].…”

“…The connection of objects over internet platforms, subsequent automation and leanness creates agility in the shop floor and process [60]. Furthermore, it makes information systems respond to changes quickly in any uncertainty of such changes in consumer demand [62]. The IoT also makes technology capability and manufacturing systems more agile through rapid communication and creation of more data through different touch points.…”

“…They facilitate to gain knowledge on the stage of production of a specific product and also help to communicate information regarding the state of machinery and equipment and update about the need of maintenance [130]. Although the sensors are an important part of Industry 4.0 ecosystem, their implication on agility of organizations is highly limited [62]. It may be due to fact that the sensors are new in Industry 4.0 [86], and thus less attention is given to the impact of sensors on agility.…”
