The article describes the setup of an experimentation and validation environment by extending a production laboratory: All relevant elements of the production laboratory were equipped with computer systems, so-called "industry 4.0 boxes", and interconnected via a peer-to-peer radio network. The "industry 4.0 boxes" are used to upgrade dedicated sensors for recording machine behaviour and communication technology to be integrated into decentralized production control. In addition, digital twins were implemented to map machine and user behaviour, enable control and support information acquisition and processing. Thereby, a research infrastructure is created for research on potentials of cyber-physical production systems. Research outcomes will be used as a decision basis for companies and for validation of production optimizations. This paper describes the concept and implementation of industry 4.0 functionalities and derives a general concept of simulation platforms for CPPS.

In the context of Industry 4.0, Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) and digital twins are key technologies for the management of huge amount of data generated by Industrial Internet of things (IIoT) devices. However, the interoperability and flexibility of different components is still an important challenge so as to integrate them in the process and fit all industrial specific needs. Thus, the main contribution of this paper is to propose a database architecture and a data model associated allowing multiple agents to work collaboratively and synchronously to perform high-level tasks. Therefore, it fulfils requirements and needs of Industry 4.0: interoperability, scalability, flexibility and resilience. The proposed architecture and model are implemented on a cyber-physical production system (CPPS) which is used in order to show and discuss several use cases examples.

Cyber Physical Production Systems

Industry 4.0 proposes the incorporation of information technologies at all levels of the production process. By incorporating these technologies, Industry 4.0 provides new tools for production planning processes, allowing to address problems in an innovative and efficient manner. From these technologies and tools, it is that in this work a One-of-a-Kind Production (OKP) process is approached, where the products tend to be highly customized. OKP implies working with a very large variability within production, demanding very efficient planning systems. For this, a planning model based on CONWIP-type strategies was proposed, which seeks to level the production of a shop floor configured in the form of a job shop. Even more, for having a more realistic shop-floor representation, machine failures have been included in the model. In turn, different dispatching rules were proposed to study the performance and analyze the behaviour of the system. From the results obtained, it is observed that, when the production demand is very exigent in relation with the capacity of the system, the dispatching rules that analyze the workload generated by each job tend to perform better. However, when the demand on the capacity of the production system is less intense, the rules associated with due dates are the ones that obtain the best results.

Interoperability in smart manufacturing refers to how interconnected cyber-physical components exchange information and interact. This is still an exploratory topic, and despite the increasing number of applications, many challenges remain open. This chapter presents an integrative framework to understand common practices, concepts, and technologies used in trending research to achieve interoperability in production systems. The chapter starts with the question of what interoperability is and provides an alternative answer based on influential works in the field, followed by the presentation of important reference models and their relation to smart manufacturing. It continues by discussing different types of interoperability, data formats, and common ontologies necessary for the integration of heterogeneous systems and the contribution of emerging technologies in achieving interoperability. This chapter ends with a discussion of a recent use case and final remarks.

Constituent Elements

Modern cyber-physical production systems (CPPS) connect different elements like machine tools and workpieces. The constituent elements are often equipped with high-performance sensors as well as information and communication technology, enabling them to interact with each other. This leads to an increasing amount and complexity of data that requires better analysis tools to support system refinement and revision performed by an expert. This paper presents a user-guided visual analysis approach that can answer relevant questions concerning the behavior of cyber-physical systems. The approach generates visualizations of aggregated views that capture an entire production system as well as specific characteristics of individual data features. To show the applicability of the presented methodologies, an exemplary production system is simulated and analyzed.

We derived a promising approach to reducing the energy consumption necessary in manufacturing processes from the combination of management methodologies and Industry 4.0 technologies. Based on a literature review and experts’ opinions, this work contributes to the efficient use of energy in batch production processes combining the analysis of the overall equipment effectiveness with the study of variables managed by cyber-physical production systems. Starting from the analysis of loss cause identification, we propose a method that obtains quantitative data about energy losses during the execution of batch processes. The contributions of this research include the acquisition of precise information about energy losses and the improvement of value co-creation practices so that energy consumption can be reduced in manufacturing processes. Decision-makers can use the findings to start a virtuous process aiming at carbon footprint and energy costs reductions while ensuring production goals are met.

Industry 4.0 is a combination of many elements, including distributed intelligence, network security, massive data, cloud computing, and analytics, among other things. Such elements are critical to the “Digital Factory”, a term that has been recently introduced by many companies indicating a comprehensive portfolio of seamlessly integrated hardware, software and technology-based services, with the aim to enhance manufacturing productivity and improving efficiency. Typically, industrial networks enable the gathering of extensive data from productionlines and plants, which are increasingly becoming distributed. The gathered data is transmitted to analysis centers where it is transformed into information and used to make better informed decisions. In addition, modern industrial networks allow plant data to be automatically filtered and transmitted to various production controllers. Ultimately, industrial networks enable Industry 4.0 to have the following benefits: improved safety, increase uptime, lower energy costs, and improved maintenance;all of which lead to manufacturing competitiveness in cyber-physical production systems supported by Smart Grid implementations. This paper presents the extent to which industrial networks are taught at the School ofEngineering Technology at McMaster University. Further, the paper covers teaching methods of industrial networks and their related applications within manufacturing plants and electrical grid.
