Abstract
The current study on digital factory (DF) meets some problems, such as disconnected manufacturing sites, independent digital models, isolated data, and non-self-controlled applications. In order to move current situation of DFs forward towards smart manufacturing, this paper attempts to present an overview of current digital situation of factories, and propose a systematical framework of cyber-physical integration in factories, with consideration of the concept of digital twin and the theory of manufacturing service. Particularly, the proposed framework includes four key issues, i.e., (a) fully interconnected physical elements integration, (b) faithful-mirrored virtual models integration, (c) all of elements/flows/businesses-covered data fusion, and (d) data-driven and application-oriented services integration. The corresponding implementable solutions of these four key issues are discussed in turn. As a reference, this paper is promising to bridge the gap in factories from current digital situation to smart manufacturing, so as to effectively facilitate their smart production.
