Industrial big data, cognitive decision-making algorithms, and sustainable production processes in cyber-physical smart manufacturing systems

Abstract

This paper analyzes the outcomes of an exploratory review of the current research on cyber-physical smart manufacturing systems. The data used for this study was obtained and replicated from previous research conducted by Frost & Sullivan. I performed analyses and made estimates regarding factories of the future in the context of smart manufacturing. Data collected from 4,200 respondents are tested against the research model by using structural equation modeling.
