Industry 4.0: Algorithmicized "production chess"
within cyber-physical systems
Vision for Industry 4.0
• The product to be manufactured
contains all necessary information
on its production requirements
• Self-organization of integrated
production installations considering
the entire value chain
• Flexible decision on production
process on the basis of the
current situation
Decentral cyber-physical systems (CPS) interact
via embedded internet -based technologies

Human beings remain essential …
Humans conceptualize and
design the product...
...determine the production rules and
parameters...
... the rest can be executed by automation...
… as creative planners, controllers and decision
