PROJECT TITLE :

Guest Editorial Industry 4.0–Prerequisites and Visions

ABSTRACT:

The papers during this special section specialize in the concept of Industry four.zero. From its origin, Industry four.zero???derived from the German term Industrie 4.0???is employed as a synonym for Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS), i.e., Cyber-Physical Systems applied in the domain of manufacturing/production. To enable CPPS their automation systems would like to be enabled to meet the requirements. The term Industrie 4.zero was first used in 201one at the Hannover Truthful and the subject has grown each year not solely on the fair. There are still several definitions of Industrie 4.0 (I4.0).
