With the advent of the Industry 4.0 concept, the approach to production automation has fundamentally changed. The manufacturing industry is based on such modern technologies as the Internet of Things, Big Data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and cyber-physical systems. These technologies have proven themselves not only in industry, but also in various other branches of life. In this paper, the authors consider the concept of cyber-physical systems – systems based on the interaction of physical processes with computational ones. The article presents a conceptual model of cyber-physical systems that displays its elements and their interaction. In cyber-physical systems, it represents five levels: physical, network, data storage, processing and analytics level, application level. Cyber-physical systems carry out their work using a basic set of technologies: the Internet of things, big data and cloud computing. Additional technologies are used depending on the purpose of the system. At the physical level, data is collected from physical devices. With the help of the Internet of Things at the network level, data is transferred to a data warehouse for further processing or processed almost immediately thanks to cloud computing. The amount of data in cyber-physical systems is enormous, so it is necessary to use big data technology and effective methods for processing and analyzing this data. The main feature of this technological complex is real-time operation. Despite the improvement in the quality of production and human life, cyber-physical systems have a number of disadvantages. The authors highlight the main problems of cyber-physical systems and promising areas of research for their development. Having solved the listed problems, cyber-physical systems will reach a qualitatively new level of utility. The paper also provides examples of the implementation of concepts such as a smart city, smart grid, smart manufacturing, smart house. These concepts are based on the principle of cyber-physical systems.

Abstract: The Supply Chain has undergone major transformations due to the need to implement new Industry 4.0 technologies, such as Internet of Things, Big Data, Cyber-Physical Systems and Cloud Computing. Thanks to these technologies, as well as to their subsystems and components, full integration of the supply chain is becoming possible. However, it is observed that the real impacts of Industry 4.0 technologies, rather positive or negative, are not yet totally clear and identified. This paper aims to identify and present an analysis of the challenges and obstacles that Industry 4.0 technologies may cause in the Supply Chain. For this, the most relevant papers on the topic were selected and analyzed through a systematic literature review. Twenty challenges grouped into four macrogroups were identified: (1) technical challenges, (2) financial, environmental and legal challenges, (3) technological challenges, and (4) sociocultural challenges. It should be noted that these challenges require greater attention and more in-depth studies on the part of the academy to support industry in order to mitigate them and thus allow better use of the available technological resources and optimize the performance of Supply Chain operations.

This paper discusses the problems connected with visible changes in industry in the context of the consequent four industrial revolutions. The last one is associated with “industry 4.0”, which in turn manifests in the presence of the following constitutive parts (systems): cyber physical systems, the Internet of Things, the Internet of Services and intelligent factories. Another important factor of the ongoing changes is the appearance of a new branch, which tries to comprise in its theoretical divagations the problems discussed in IT, mathematics, neurophysiology, electronics, psychology, anthropology and philosophy. In the experimental area this realm, in turn, is treated as a branch of IT. All these constituents can be defined as artificial intelligence. The aim of this research is an attempt to answer the question posed in the title of the article, taking into consideration the potentially most holistic approach to these problems in the context of sustainable development of the constituent capitals taking into consideration not only the increasing of opportunities but maximizing the benefits in the natural, social and economic spheres.

AbstractThis paper presents a new design for artificial intelligence in cyber-physical systems. We present a survey of principles, policies, design actions and key technologies for CPS, and discusses the state of art of the technology in a qualitative perspective. First, literature published between 2010 and 2021 is reviewed, and compared with the results of a qualitative empirical study that correlates world leading Industry 4.0 frameworks. Second, the study establishes the present and future techniques for increased automation in cyber-physical systems. We present the cybersecurity requirements as they are changing with the integration of artificial intelligence and internet of things in cyber-physical systems. The grounded theory methodology is applied for analysis and modelling the connections and interdependencies between edge components and automation in cyber-physical systems. In addition, the hierarchical cascading methodology is used in combination with the taxonomic classifications, to design a new integrated framework for future cyber-physical systems. The study looks at increased automation in cyber-physical systems from a technical and social level.

Industry 4.0 is a technology-driven manufacturing process that heavily relies on technologies, such as the internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, web services, and big real-time data. Industry 4.0 has significant potential if the challenges currently being faced by introducing these technologies are effectively addressed. Some of these challenges consist of deficiencies in terms of interoperability and standardization. Semantic Web technologies can provide useful solutions for several problems in this new industrial era, such as systems integration and consistency checks of data processing and equipment assemblies and connections. This paper discusses what contribution the Semantic Web can make to Industry 4.0.
