Big Data for Cyber-Physical Systems in Industry 4.0
Introduction
The article Big Data for Cyber-Physical Systems in Industry 4.0: A Survey was written by Li Da Xu and Lian Duan and published on 1st March 2018 to show the critical intersection of technological developments in cyber-physical systems and the big data and big data systems, and bring to light the future research direction to achieve the full autonomy in industry 4.0. The author talks clearly about the relationship between cyber-physical systems and the big data nature systems in the technological advancements. Below is a summary of the whole article.
Summary
The author begins the article by giving a broad introduction to industry 4.0, giving its origin and other details about it. The characteristics of big data are identified, and the issues affecting the big data in industry 4.0 are identified, giving details on system infrastructure, data capture, data storage and retrieval, distributed computing, data analytics, descriptive analytics, correlation analytics, clustering, generative models in the big data, predictive analytics and prescriptive analytics. More details on the current research on industry 4.0 are given with two aspects identified to be very important for the working of CPS in industry 4.0, which are robustness and intelligence. Research on system infrastructures to ensure security, resilience, and reliability of CPS systems was done. In the article, the discussion put the taxonomy of current research for CPS in industry 4.0 being put clearly. Details on data analytics research to improve self-aware and self-maintained capabilities for CPS systems efficiency were well put across, with the most straightforward applications of data analytics being explained. Being a research article, a summary of the whole research and their findings was put across with a conclusion, and recommendations in the form of future research directions were detailed (Duan).
Conclusion
In a nutshell, the author agrees with the article’s discussion that cyber-physical systems are fundamental infrastructure in industry 4.0, and big data is a crucial aspect to efficiency and effectively dealing with data brought up from physical systems that are cyber-related.
