Über dieses Buch

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are one of the key concepts of Industry 4.0. Despite their great potentials for industrial value creation, there are challenges, such as a significant increase in complexity, as a result of which the development status of Industry 4.0 is behind expectations. This book addresses this issue with the following research design: In addition to providing a comprehensive foundation of industrial CPS and Industry 4.0, four studies are conducted, each consisting of an exploratory research part and a design science research (DSR) part. In doing so, four perspectives are directed at the topic of industrial CPS: A systemic, a stakeholder-centered, an organizational and a holistic. In conclusion, the contributions are integrated in a summary and the artifacts are incorporated into an overarching methodological framework. Thus, theoretical contributions are derived and concrete practical recommendations for the main target groups of organizations, educational institutions and international delegations provided.

Chapter 1. Introduction: Scope and Relevance of this Research
Abstract
This introduction starts a research journey toward a more comprehensive and indepth understanding of the concept of industrial cyber-physical systems (CPS) with the motivation to contribute to the advancement of Industry 4.0 from vision to application. It provides the overall context of this dissertation (cf. Section 1.1) and introduces the reader to the research gap and the objectives of all activities within this book (cf. Section 1.2). Subsequently, in Section 1.3, the research questions and the research design aligned to answer those are presented.

Chapter 2. Foundations: Underlying Concepts of this Research
Abstract
This chapter constitutes the foundations for the studies of this dissertation and introduces the underlying concepts of this research. To this end, the concept of CPS is first introduced (cf. Section 2.1), followed by the based upon vision of Industry 4.0 (cf. Section 2.2) before the resulting requirements for the design and engineering of industrial CPS are derived (cf. Section 2.3).

Chapter 3. Study I: Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems in a Systemic Perspective
Abstract
Within Chapter 3, the first study of this dissertation, which directs a systemic perspective on industrial CPS, is conducted. It is divided into two parts: In the first explorative research part, the extant knowledge on CPS with relevance for Industry 4.0 is compiled by means of a systematic literature review and transferred into a state of research and a categorization (cf. Section 3.1). In the second DSR part, these findings are transferred into the Industry 4.0 Compendium artifact by applying the DSRM (cf. Section 3.2).

Chapter 4. Study II: Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems in a Stakeholder Perspective
Abstract
Study II of this dissertation is carried out in Chapter 4 and directs a stakeholder perspective on industrial CPS. It consists of two parts: In Section 4.1—the explorative research part—the relevant stakeholders of Industry 4.0 and their relation to CPS are analyzed by means of a multiple-case study. In Section 4.2—the DSR part—the artifacts Industry 4.0 Stakeholder Cards & Matrix are designed based on the results of the aforementioned section.

Chapter 5. Study III: Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems in an Organizational Perspective
Abstract
The fifth chapter incorporates Study III of this dissertation and applies an organizational perspective to industrial CPS. It is structured in two segments: In the explorative research part in Section 5.1, an applied thematic analysis is employed to identify applications and corresponding configurations for CPS in the Industry 4.0 context. Thereupon, in the DSR part in Section 5.2, the gained knowledge is applied to design the artifact Industry 4.0 Application Map.

Chapter 6. Study IV: Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems in a Holistic Perspective
Abstract
Chapter 6 contains the fourth and final study of this dissertation that provides a holistic perspective on industrial CPS. It also consists of two parts, but in contrast to the previous studies, in this one, the DSR part constitutes the main section (cf. Section 6.2). For this, the first part lays out the necessary structural and theoretical foundations (cf. Section 6.1) before the artifact compilation of the Industry 4.0 Demonstrator PID4CPS is designed and developed in the second part of Study IV.

Chapter 7. Reflections and Conclusion: Integration and Advancements of this Research
Abstract
This final chapter concludes the research journey of this dissertation toward a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the concept of industrial CPS. In this sense, the artifacts designed in the DSR parts are integrated in the overarching method framework of the Industry 4.0 Suite in Section 7.1 before the general outcomes of this research work are summarized—as well in integrated form—in Section 7.2.
