  • Exploring the integration of the human as a flexibility factor in CPS enabled manufacturing environments: Methodology and results
    Publication . Fantini, Paola; Tavola, G.; Taisch, Marco; Barbosa, José; Leitão, Paulo; Liu, Y.; Sayed, M.S.; Lohse, N.
    Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are expected to shape the evolution of production towards the fourth industrial revolution named Industry 4.0. The increasing integration of manufacturing processes and the strengthening of the autonomous capabilities of manufacturing systems make investigating the role of humans a primary research objective in view of emerging social and demographic megatrends. Understanding how the employees can be better integrated to enable increased flexibility in manufacturing systems is a prerequisite to allow technological solutions, as well as humans, to harness their full potential. Humans can supervise and adjust the settings, be a source of knowledge and competences, can diagnose situations, take decisions and several other activities influencing manufacturing performances, overall providing additional degrees of freedom to the systems. This paper, studies two different integration models: Human-in-the-Loop and Human-in-the-Mesh. They are both analysed in the context of four industrial cases of deployment of cyber physical systems in production.

  • Symbiotic integration of human activities in cyber-physical systems
    Publication . Fantini, Paola; Leitão, Paulo; Barbosa, José; Taisch, Marco
    Human integration in cyber-physical systems (CPS) is playing a crucial role in the era of the digital transformation, notably because humans are seen as the most flexible driver in an automated system. Two main reference models for human activities in production systems are usually considered, namely Human-in-the-Loop (HitL) and Human-in-the-Mesh (HitM), which present different requirements and challenges. This paper aims to overview the different activities related to the human integration in CPS, particularly discussing the requirements that can be found in HitL and HitM models for the different phases of the decision-making process, namely detect, determine, develop and describe; and analyzing the technologies and computational tools to support these human activities. The human integration in CPS is illustrated through three examples, where humans playing the operator and manager roles are integrated in the PERFoRM and FAR-EDGE ecosystems, covering different phases of the decision-making process.
