Abstract:
The Internet of Things and Services opens new perspectives for goods
and value-added services in various industrial sectors. Engineering of industrial
products and of industrial production systems is a multi-disciplinary, model- and
data-driven engineering process, which involves engineers coming from several
engineering disciplines. These engineering disciplines exploit a variety of engineering tools and information processing systems. This book discusses challenges
and solutions for the required information processing and management capabilities
within the context of multi-disciplinary engineering of production systems. The
authors consider methods, architectures, and technologies applicable in use cases
according to the viewpoints of product engineering and production system engineering, and regarding the triangle of (1) the product to be produced by (2) a production
process executed on (3) a production system resource.
This chapter motivates the need for better approaches to multi-disciplinary
engineering (MDE) for cyber-physical production systems (CPPS) and provides
background information for non-experts to explain the interaction between production engineering, production systems engineering, and enabling contributions from
informatics. Furthermore, the chapter introduces a set of research questions and
provides an overview on the book structure, chapter contributions, and benefits to
the target audiences.
