Migration from traditional towards cyber-physical production systems. In IEEE 15th International Conference on Industrial Informatics. p. 1147-1152.

This requires a redesign of existing information processing systems especially related to control, leading possibly to cyber-physical production systems (CPPS). However, the implementation of new control technologies will have a direct impact on the normal operational status of production while engineers will also face several challenges and obstacles in adopting intelligent automation systems. New step-wise migration strategies are required to holistically support industries in their journey towards CPPS taking into account technical, economic and social aspects. This paper discusses the migration state-of-the-art strategies, analyzing them and providing a first attempt to define a migration approach for innovative production systems.engMigration strategyCyber-physical production systems (CPPS)Engineering processesconference object10.1109/INDIN.2017.8104935
