PRINCIPLE OF 4.0 INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
- Interoperability: The ability of cyber-physical systems, humans and Smart Factories to connect and communicate with each other via the Internet of Things and the Internet of Services.
- Virtualization: a virtual copy of the Smart Factory which is created by linking sensor data with virtual plant models and simulation models
- Decentralization: The ability of cyber-physical systems within Smart Factories to make decisions on their own
- Real-Time Capability: The capability to collect and analyze data and provide the insights immediately
- Service Orientation: Offering of services of cyber-physical systems, humans and Smart Factories via the Internet of Services
- Modularity: Flexible adaptation of Smart Factories for changing requirements of individual modules.
