4. Levers of Cyber Physical Production Systems for Multi-Material Body Parts Manufacturing

This chapter delves into the complexities of multi-material component manufacturing, highlighting the potential of Cyber Physical Production Systems (CPPS) to manage and optimize these processes. It introduces CPPS as an extension of traditional IT solutions, emphasizing its ability to integrate physical and cyber worlds seamlessly. The framework of CPPS is detailed, showcasing how data is acquired, assessed, and fed back into the physical world to support decision-making and control. The chapter also explores data mining techniques, such as predictive and descriptive modeling, and their application in process optimization and energy consumption reduction. An exemplary use case demonstrates the practical implementation of CPPS in the manufacturing of multi-material components, illustrating how data-driven approaches can enhance efficiency and sustainability. The chapter concludes by summarizing the benefits of CPPS and providing a roadmap for its effective application in modern manufacturing.
