Title: DIN SPEC 91345 RAMI4.0-based Engineering of Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems
Industry 4.0 is a collective term for technologies, concepts and novel business approaches, formalized under the DIN Specification 91345 RAMI4.0, that covers the whole industrial value chain, combining Cyber-Physical Systems, the Internet-of-Things and the Internet-of-Services. After presenting the scientific and technical background behind Industrial‐Cyber-Physical‐ Systems (ICPS), the audience/participants of the Plenary Keynote will get a deep view about:
– Digitalization and Networking of the economy. Principles.
– Building industrial eco-systems of digitalized and networked things/assets. Industry 4.0.
– Formalizing the digitalization and networking principles with the DIN Specification 91345 RAMI4.0
– Understanding why and how to navigate the 3D-model RAMI4.0 in order to fulfilling the major requirements for engineering the digitalization of the industrial value stream and the life cycle of ICPS?
– Understanding how to migrate from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0 environments. Analysis and discussion of results of exemplary innovation projects.
– Overviewing a core curriculum for educating engineers at Master Level in Industry4.0 / Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems. Master on Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems of the DAAD / CUAA-DAHZ, Germany-Argentina.
