Human-centered application using cyber-physical production system

摘要

Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) are the key enabling for industrial businesses and economic growth. With the introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the manufacturing environment, CPPS have a huge potential in terms of new business opportunities, mostly known as the 4 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">th</sup> Industrial Revolution. The paper presents a CPPS architecture achieved within the European R&D project SelSus, which is validated in an industrial human-machine collaborative use case scenario. This scenario is composed by a set of sequential gripping operations between a person and a robotic arm, where both sensing and actuation devices are virtualized using the SmartComponent concept. The developed prototype demonstrated that the SelSus CPPS enabled self-adaptation in industrial equipment, in order to help the human operator under high levels of stress and fatigue.
