The Digital Shopfloor - Industrial Automation in the Industry 4.0 Era: Performance Analysis and Applications

by John Soldatos (Editor), Oscar Lazaro (Editor), Franco Cavadini (Editor)

Overview

The present book provides a comprehensive description of some of the most representative solutions that offered by these three projects, along with the ways these solutions can be combined in order to achieve multiplier effects and maximize the benefits of their use. The presented solutions include standards-based digital automation solutions, following different deployment paradigms, such as cloud and edge computing systems. Moreover, they also comprise a rich set of digital simulation solutions, which are explored in conjunction with the H2020 MAYA project (http://www.maya-euproject.com/).

Editorial Reviews

The work reflected in the book is perfectly aligned to our “Autonomous Smart Factories” pathway, as the presented technologies and use cases of the DSA are boosting significant improvements in production time, quality, sustainability and cost-efficiency at the same time. The co-editors have done a good job in presenting the added-value of the solutions developed by the three projects. At EFFRA we appreciate seeing results aligned to our research and development roadmaps. In the case of the results presented in this book, we are also happy to see the development of complementary services and community building initiatives, which could provide value to our members. We are happy to support the three projects in their dissemination and community building initiatives. It’s also very positive that this book is offered based on an Open Access publication modality, which could help it reach a wider readership and will boost its impact. EFFRA is a growing network of actors that play key roles on national, regional, European and even global initiatives, as a contribution to knowledge exchange and experience sharing. I believe that many of these actors will find the book a very interesting read.
