Cyber physical systems combine communications, IT, data and physical elements using the following core technologies:

•  Sensor networks (receptors)

•  Internet communication infrastructure (IP)

•  Intelligent real-time processing and event management (CPUs)

•  Actors for mechanical activities

•  Embedded Software for logic

•  Big Data and Data Provisioning

•  Automated operations and management of system activities

The four industrial revolutions

Digital Industry 4.0 is characterized by highly intelligent cyber physical systems that can autonomously perform end-to-end activities along the value chain

Evolution of production systems

Industry 1.0

Industry 2.0

Industry 3.0

Industry 4.0

1. Industrial Revolution through introduction of mechanical production facilities powered by water and steam

2. Industrial Revolution through introduction of mass production based on the division of labour and powered by electrical energy

3. Industrial Revolution through introduction of electronics and IT for a further automatization of production

4. Industrial Revolution based on Cyber-Physical Production Systems

These new internet-based services are the future

Key elements of Digital Industry 4.0

Digital Industry 4.0 is not limited to smart factory – connected, intelligent systems and products will allow for new internet based services and processes

From „Industry 4.0“

To the next level „Internet-based

services“

Smart Devices

•  In the Smart Factory people, machines and resources communicate as in a social network

•  Intelligent Product (Smart Devices) will emerge that know how they were manufactured and how to best utilize them

•  These intelligent products collect data about use, status and environment

•  Using intelligent connections, these huge amounts of data (big data) will be collected and processed by smart algorithms (analytics) in real time

•  New insights are generated that can used to offer new intelligent services to the customer
