In the present day, industry has been brought closer to the Industry 4.0 paradigm due to its needs of reaching better industrial communications and improving the control process. According to the IIoT concepts, Cyber Physical Production Systems (CPPS) are normally connected to each other, and also connected to the virtual world of global digital networks. By introducing the IEC-61499 standard, CPPS...
Today's industry needs to improve the day-to-day control and industrial communications of its processes, which brings it closer to the Industry 4.0 paradigm. To achieve this goal, the IEC-61499 standard is considered as a first step towards the development of agile and intelligent manufacturing systems where distribution, interoperability and re-configuration are the fundamental requirements. However,...
A cyber-physical production system (CPPS) integrates capacities such as computing, storing and communication along with others in the physical world such as objects tracking and/or objects controlling. According to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) concepts it is possible to infer that CPPS systems are normally connected to each other, and also connected to the virtual world of global digital...
Regarding current Oil&Gas production places, an important challenge is to deal with the increasing complexity of shop floor level data on existing production processes and, beyond that, allowing their possible vertical integration. In order to reach this goal, an integration of smart cyber-physical production systems (CPPS) into the automation production systems could be a solution. In the last...
Low Cost Automation promotes cost effective reference architectures and development approaches to increase flexibility and efficiency of production operations. This has led to the adoption of open networking standards for plant floor communications. OPC-UA may help industrial companies to become Industry 4.0 or Smart Manufacturing as it enables remote access to plant information, achieving thus horizontal...
Currently, factory automation systems need to cope with very different challenges, such as technological advances happening very fast, global and competitive market or product customization. These challenges lead to a new generation of automation systems based on the so-called Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) globally connected to form a flexible System of Cyber-Physical Production Systems...
The basis for the fourth industrial revolution is the availability of accessing all relevant information in real time by connecting all instances involved in the value chain. The ultimate goal is to manage the entire value chain process, improving efficiencies in the production process and coming up with better products and services. The essence of vertical networking comes from the use of cyber-physical...
The use of organic acids as preservatives in foods is an alternative for restricting the development of moulds in food and subsequently reducing the possibility of mycotoxin contamination. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of acetic and sorbic acids on the growth of species of Aspergillus in culture media at different pH values, besides determining the influence of sub-inhibitory...
The adoption of new technologies and automation standards, such as OPC-UA and IEC61499, is essential in order to satisfy the flexibility and reconfiguration needs required at the Factories of the Future. Currently, the Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) are at the core of the new control and automation distributed systems. However, it is necessary to provide the research community with low cost...
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are at the core of the future industrial control systems. Most industrial CPSs are usually implemented over expensive and domain-specific hardware platforms, such as industrial embedded control systems, mainly for safety and security reasons. In less-critical applications the use of open, low-cost hardware platforms that provide adequate computing capabilities, such as...
