Referential Architectures of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) for Industry 4.0

Nowadays, we observe an increasingly rapid growth of connected objects and data produced at all levels of modern society and particularly in the industrial world. A new industrial revolution has therefore appeared, under the name of Industry 4.0, aiming in particular at designing and implementing so-called cyber-physical systems allowing to face new important challenges linked to an intelligent use of ICT technologies in order to be able to propose products and services adapted to the society of tomorrow. This chapter introduces several referential architectures for Industry 4.0 and proposes a 5C layered architecture enhancement intended to facilitate designing, developing and managing Cyber Physical Systems. The two lowest layers are intended to cope with the integrability (connectivity) and interoperability (communication) challenges of the heterogeneous actors involved in CPS (people, things, data, services, etc.). The three highest layers are intended to incrementally integrate monitoring, analysis, planning and management capabilities required to allow coordination of CPS as well as cooperation and collaboration of Cyber-Physical Systems of Systems (CPSoS).
