Nine Pillars of IR 4.0

 

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.
