The Cyber Physical System Plant Perspective

The industrial cases are completed and reported to the companies. For the final public dissemination a book in Norwegian is written. A complete draft of the book is completed. The book will be issued by Fagbokforlaget during 2021.

CPS-Plant har gitt et godt F&U og industrielt fundament for CPS-systemer og Indusri 4.0 implemneteringer. Dette kan brukes videre både i nye nroske F&U prosjekter, både mot må og melloomstore bedrifter. Videre kan kunnskapen benyttes mot nye EU prosjekter i Horizon Europe. Løsningen vil også brukes i undervisning på forskjellige nivå. Prosjektet har gått i en periode med stor utvikling innen faget internasjonalt. Det har også gitt muligheten til å følge med dette slik at vi er bedre rustet til å følge den videre fronten innen digitalisering innen Manufacturing. Case bedriftene har virkninger fra prosjektet og kan ta dette videre i sin videre utvikling.

The main objective of this project is the following: The primary R&D objective is to develop, utilize, implement and evaluate enabling technologies for Norwegian Industries of the future in a combined physical and virtual industrial model built on the principles of Industry 4.0 including digitalization and interconnectivity. CPS-Plant has the ambition to be the platform that can increase Norway's competitiveness within manufacturing by advanced use of integrated ICT that leads to the concept of Smart Factory. CPS-Plant has the ambition to be a Norwegian initiative on Cyber-physical manufacturing systems as well as a Norwegian foothold for the Manufuture initiative for a Knowledge and Innovation Community (KiC) on value adding manufacturing. The primary objective will be achieved through the secondary objectives, conducting research according to the main objective above, investigating the following topics: - Develop and demonstrate solutions for digitalization (Industry 4.0) of a manufacturing factory and process plant with control systems providing autonomy and adaptive solutions with integrated usage of Internet of things and handling of Big Data for the shop floor equipment communication - Exploring the use of Cloud resources providing functionalities and computational capacities going far beyond what is normally available in a factory or plant. The main activites are the following: - Industrial Requirements and The Cyber Plant user based Framework - CPS technical study; specification and development for a Manufacturing CPS lab demonstration - Impact of Industry4.0 technologies for increased automation potential and new requirements to support, operator and plant management roles in Norwegian Industries - Integration and Implementation in Industry - Digitalization over the value chain (Horizontal Integration) - Exploitation Dissemination and Training,Projcet Management Consortium; SINTEF Raufoss Manufacturing, SINTEF ICT, NTNU,Hydro,HYCAST, Benteler
