The document discusses the evolution of advanced manufacturing and the Internet of Things (IoT), emphasizing the integration of cyber-physical systems into production processes. It highlights the shift towards network-centric approaches, where agile manufacturing and smart industry will foster new job categories that require interdisciplinary skills. The future of manufacturing is presented as increasingly digital, with intelligent products being developed within connected ecosystems.

6. INTERNET OF THINGS – HISTORY
Mark Weiser Ubiquitous Computing (1991)
The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave
themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indisguishable
from it.
Kevin Ashton Internet of Things (1999)
A system to describe where the Internet is connected to the physical
world via ubiquitous sensors.
Sundmaeker c.s. Internet of Things (2010)
In the context of Internet of Things a thing could be defined as a
real/physical or digital/virtual entity that exists and move in space and
time and is capable of being identified either by assigned identification
numbers, names and/or location addresses

7. CYBER PHYSICAL SYSTEMS
Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are smart
networked systems with embedded
sensors, processors and actuators that
are designed to sense and interact with
the physical world (including the
human users), and support real-time,
guaranteed performance in safety-
critical applications where the
proverbial “blue screen of death” can
have catastrophic consequences.

8. ADVANCED MANUFACTURING I
October 21, 2015
@COPYRIGHT PROF. DR. BEN VAN LIER
CMC
Advanced manufacturing is a family of
activities that:
• Depend on the use and coordination of
information, automation, software,
sensing, and networking and/or
• make use of cutting edge materials and
emerging capabilities enabled by the
physical and biological sciences, for
example nanotechnology, chemistry, and
biology.
It involves both new ways to manufacture
existing products, and the manufacture of
new products emerging from new advanced
technologies.

The result will be agile manufacturing
Companies will create more intelligent
products based on cyber-physical systems.
These products will be manufactured in
‘digital factories’, with each part of the
production process able to communicate
with different manufacturing ‘players’

This is Certain.

12. DUTCH INDUSTRY FIT FOR THE FUTURE
APRIL 2014
In the coming decade, a network-centric
approach to production will replace linear
production processes
Digitisation is brought to another level within
Smart Industry.
The third pillar to Smart industry is about
the next generation of manufacturing
technologies.
Together with Germany, the Netherlands is
keen to take the lead. Here and now.

13. INDUSTRY AGENDA - WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM
To support these hybrid industries,
entirely new categories of jobs will
emerge. Most of these jobs will
demand strong inter disciplinary
skills, including deep knowledge
about specific industry domains,
new technologies, software and
data skills, along with soft skills
(e.g. leadership, communication,
collaboration) (pp. 18)

14. INFORMATICS – SYSTEMS THEORY – CYBERNETICS
Claude Shannon The mathematical theory of Communication 1948
Frequently the messages have meaning. That is they refer to or
are correlated to some system with certain physical or
conceptual entities. These semantic aspects of communication
are irrelevant to the engineering problem.

17. NETWORK-CENTRIC APPROACH
“The difficulty will therefore no longer lie in
understanding each individual, autonomous, autopoeitic
and referential system, but in the existence and the
nature of the relationship between these systems”
van Lier & Hardjono
Systems Practice and Action Research (2011)
volume 24 pg. 479-497
“There is a concern in the medical society that such
reliance on “humans in the loop” may compromise
patient safety”. Lee I. (2010:743) DAC 10 june 13-18 2010

18. ULTRA LARGE SCALE (SOFTWARE) SYSTEMS
Sociotechnical ecosystems
Include people, organizations, and
technologies at all levels with
significant and often competing
interdependencies.
• Dynamic communities
• Interaction between all entities –
roles, responsibilities, and information
flows
• Competition for resources
• Rules, incentives, and adaptation

19. Like ordinariness, context is managed
moment by moment, achieved by those
carrying out some activity together, and
relative to that activity and to the forms of
action and engagement that it entails.
Paul Dourish (2004)
INTERNET OF THINGS - CONTEXT
Context is a temporary and cohesive whole,
a non-material entity, that is formed and
perceived in an arbitrary connection
between people, between objects, and
between arbitrary combinations of people
and objects
