Study I: Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems in a Systemic Perspective

Within Chapter 3, the first study of this dissertation, which directs a systemic perspective on industrial CPS, is conducted. It is divided into two parts: In the first explorative research part, the extant knowledge on CPS with relevance for Industry 4.0 is compiled by means of a systematic literature review and transferred into a state of research and a categorization (cf. Section 3.1). In the second DSR part, these findings are transferred into the Industry 4.0 Compendium artifact by applying the DSRM (cf. Section 3.2).
