报告简介：

Industry 4.0 is the German vision for the future of manufacturing, one that smart factories use information and communications technologies to digitise their systems and processes, and reap benefits in the form of improved quality, lower costs, and increased efficiency. The technological fundamentals of Industry 4.0 are unpinned by that of Internet of Things and exist in various forms of Cyber-Physical Systems, where “systems” can be products and machines. A key element in a Cyber-physical System is Cyber Twin or otherwise commonly known as Digital Twin. There are some subtle technological differences between the two terminologies. Nevertheless, they share some common features that enable a Cyber-physical System to function effectively in the Industry 4.0 surroundings. This talk gives an overview of the background, concept and major technologies, in particular digital twin and twinning technologies, for Industry 4.0.
