An Industrialized Form of Cyber-Physical Systems Based on "Virtual Engineering Objects" and "Virtual Engineering Processes"

Abstract

Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are compared and contrasted with VEOs and VEPs (Virtual Engineering Objects and Processes) in this research (CPS). Virtual Engineering Objects (VEOs) and Virtual Engineering Processes (VEPs) are two ways in which engineering knowledge may be represented. We use the term "cyber-physical systems" to refer to systems that use computer, communication, and control technology in a tightly integrated manner (CPSs). VEO/VEP is a subset of CPS with substantial potential to contribute to the foundation of Industry 4.0, as shown by the study of core principles and techniques of application. As
a result of merging the two approaches, we may soon have access to very sophisticated analytics and intelligent robots.
