Cybernetization of Industrial Product-Service Systems in Network Environment

Abstract

The beginning of the new millennium, from the point of view of industrial production, is characterized by the rapid development of information and communication technologies and the Internet on one side, as well as globalization, uncertainty and ever-increasing demands of the contemporary market on the other. The basic question that arises from this relationship is: How to balance these two diametrically opposite “half”, which are interconnected at the same time? The answer can be sought undoubtedly in the innovations of products, production technologies and production management methods on the underlying principles advocated by the new Industrial Revolution named in Industry 4.0. The proposed paper is part of the concept of cybernetization of advanced production systems developed in the framework of research work in the field of structuring reference models of cyber-physical production systems. The focus is on showing the cybernetic participants of modern industrial manufacturing and service systems and their connection to the Internet of Service Network.
