Abstract :

Cyber Physical Systems has become a major trend and with it a number of technologies that have been present for decades have been swallowed up into one single term. This presentation will sum up the current and past developments within CPS including the details of successful implementations of such systems in pre-industrial demonstrators. Industrially available embedded controllers, enabling the first re-configurable assembly systems were launched within the IDEAS FP7 project and included modular systems, multi-agent development platforms and an array of supporting software tools. This work then led to the openMOS Horizon 2020 project that is attempting to reach industrial standardization with some specified protocols and communication approaches. Nonetheless CPS is now broadening its spectrum and also encompasses cloud technologies that will open the way for remote monitoring, remote diagnostics and options we may not even have thought of today. All these potential opportunities, well detailed in the IIP Roadmap 2030, led the research team to propose the Cybernetic Production System approach. Spanning from self-configuration to self-organization and self-diagnostics, this proposed vision will hereby be detailed, including active European projects and other supporting technologies that are essential to its success: Adequate business models, human-robot collaboration and circular economy strategies.
