The Impact of Industry 4.0 Cyber Physical Systems on Industrial Development

Cyber physical systems is a fundamental concept of Industry 4.0 for developing intelligent factories. We can create cyber physical systems for intelligent plants based on the ISA-95 or 5C architectures. Both methods, however, place a premium on vertical and horizontal integration. This article introduces the 8C design by incorporating 3C characteristics into the 5C concept. The three Cs are coalition, customer, and content. The proposed 8C architecture is a good starting point for developing an intelligent manufacturing cyber physical system. Based on the proposed 8C architecture, we demonstrated the design and construction of an intelligent cyber-physical plant system, which included an Industrial Internet of Things gateway and an intelligent cloud-based data center. The industrial scenario has altered tremendously, mainly owing to quickly increasing technologies and rising demand. As a result, the number of processing devices and systems in industrial designs increases. Connectivity, physical/virtual interoperability, interoperability, self-organization, and intelligent decision-making entities are required to nurture Industry 4.0’s potential (I4.0). We believe that the newly developed I4.0 will play an essential role in the cyber physical systems (CPSs) and IT (IIoT). To keep up with the digital media transformation, experts and researchers from large manufacturing companies will study these technologies and create IIoT systems and CPS architectures to link together with network devices from various Information Communication Technology (ICT) systems, virtualized company assets, and integrate them into other manufacturers. This article covers the various CPS models in the industrial environment, highlighting their key characteristics or technologies and interdependence, identifying aims and advantages, and contributing to IIoT in I4.0. This article investigates the fundamental models that are available in the industrial setting. It also contains a literature review covering CPS and IIoT projects, emphasizing critical technologies used in the most recent environment in state-of-the-art and how the main components of vertical or horizontal industrial integration may be met in I4.0. Finally, to improve and integrate them into the I4.0 scenario, the study highlights the needs for current and future challenges, limits, gaps, and modifications critical to CPS designs.
