Shaping the Digital Transformation in Production: An Information- and Network-Centric Perspective
Abstract
The Internet of Production exemplifies the ongoing digital transformation in production by holistically approaching the creation of data-to-knowledge pipelines—from the initial collaborative collection of data from various, possibly competing entities up to the final knowledge generation and exploitation. Primary envisioned benefits include process optimization and resilience improvement to advance sustainability—addressing today’s most pressing challenge. In this paper, we outline the current state of the digital transformation, highlighting research achievements across various layers of interest, namely application, data modeling, and the underlying infrastructure. Based on this assessment, we identify critical information- and network-centric questions that help guide the industrial domain to an even more collaborative and sustainable future.
