A Cyberphysical System Based Mass-Customization Approach with Integration of Industry 4.0 and Smart City

Abstract

Smart city is a city which is designed to meet the people's demands. In addition to use of sources efficiently, trends of people are also a need that smart city should meet. Buying personalized products in a cheap and fast way is a demand of people of today. Mass customization, which is defined as the personalization of products, achieves making the tailor-made products cheaper. In this study, we propose a new approach for mass customization with the integration of smart retail and smart production. With removing the operators and actualizing the progress autonomously, it is aimed to reduce the waiting time of customers. Because less waiting time means that there are more mass-customization customers, and this is expected to increase the popularity of mass customization. Thus, reducing wastes and increasing productivity are aimed. This study also constitutes the infrastructure that enables a production system to autonomously perform all stages from order to delivery. With the given scenarios, challenges and advantages of desired approach are discussed.

Cyber–physical Systems Expression in Industry 4.0 Context

“…Since Industry 4.0 concept started developed due to the necessity to increase quality and provide mass customization, therefore the research mainly focused on advanced manufacturing concepts. A more precise description and essential elements of CPS based on previous research has been summarized by the authors and represented in figure 2 [11], [1], [4], [12], [3]. The CPS base level begins from sensors, which are used to gather information from the physical world.…”

“…More and more research is being conducted, which analyses approaches to limit the negative effect of globalization and high demand for variety and low costs. The research mainly focuses on Industry 4.0 concept, which amplifies the necessity to automate business processes and utilize their assets in a more efficient manner and to allow mass customization [1]. The concept of Industry 4.0 has been developed in Germany since 2011, which amplified the necessary criteria to achieve for companies to maintain their competitiveness.…”

Multilayer Network-Based Production Flow Analysis

“…Horizontal and intercompany integration should connect the elements of the supply chain [6], while vertical integration should connect information related to the entire product life cycle [7]. According to this new concept, the improvement and optimization of production technologies based on cyber-physical systems (CPS) are realized by the simultaneous utilization of information related to production systems [8], products, models [9], simulators, and process data [10,11].…”

Protecting Download Traffic from Upload Traffic over Asymmetric Wireless Links

“…Recent system development trends are tending towards scalable architectures that can be adapted to any application or system rather than systems dedicated to specific purposes. Thus, the systems can be applied to many fields, such as smart grids [1], health care [2], surveillance [3], hazard detection [4], criminal tracking [5], and any system based on networked control, such as cyber-physical systems (CPSs) [6]. The wide application range of mobile services or systems raises concerns that the network infrastructure needs to be suitable for each mobile service or system type.…”
