Recently, there has been an explosive growth in the development and implementation of various Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Accordingly, CPS-related research and advancements in CPS technologies have increasingly been part of the emerging trends in IT areas such as Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, cloud computing, and Industry 4.0. However, there are only a few research efforts that identify the comprehensive CPS research trends relevant to the emerging IT trends. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explore what CPS research topics are related to the emerging IT trends and to investigate how industries have implemented CPS technologies.

Abstract: The Supply Chain has undergone major transformations due to the need to implement new Industry 4.0 technologies, such as Internet of Things, Big Data, Cyber-Physical Systems and Cloud Computing. Thanks to these technologies, as well as to their subsystems and components, full integration of the supply chain is becoming possible. However, it is observed that the real impacts of Industry 4.0 technologies, rather positive or negative, are not yet totally clear and identified. This paper aims to identify and present an analysis of the challenges and obstacles that Industry 4.0 technologies may cause in the Supply Chain. For this, the most relevant papers on the topic were selected and analyzed through a systematic literature review. Twenty challenges grouped into four macrogroups were identified: (1) technical challenges, (2) financial, environmental and legal challenges, (3) technological challenges, and (4) sociocultural challenges. It should be noted that these challenges require greater attention and more in-depth studies on the part of the academy to support industry in order to mitigate them and thus allow better use of the available technological resources and optimize the performance of Supply Chain operations.

With the advent of the Industry 4.0 concept, the approach to production automation has fundamentally changed. The manufacturing industry is based on such modern technologies as the Internet of Things, Big Data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and cyber-physical systems. These technologies have proven themselves not only in industry, but also in various other branches of life. In this paper, the authors consider the concept of cyber-physical systems – systems based on the interaction of physical processes with computational ones. The article presents a conceptual model of cyber-physical systems that displays its elements and their interaction. In cyber-physical systems, it represents five levels: physical, network, data storage, processing and analytics level, application level. Cyber-physical systems carry out their work using a basic set of technologies: the Internet of things, big data and cloud computing. Additional technologies are used depending on the purpose of the system. At the physical level, data is collected from physical devices. With the help of the Internet of Things at the network level, data is transferred to a data warehouse for further processing or processed almost immediately thanks to cloud computing. The amount of data in cyber-physical systems is enormous, so it is necessary to use big data technology and effective methods for processing and analyzing this data. The main feature of this technological complex is real-time operation. Despite the improvement in the quality of production and human life, cyber-physical systems have a number of disadvantages. The authors highlight the main problems of cyber-physical systems and promising areas of research for their development. Having solved the listed problems, cyber-physical systems will reach a qualitatively new level of utility. The paper also provides examples of the implementation of concepts such as a smart city, smart grid, smart manufacturing, smart house. These concepts are based on the principle of cyber-physical systems.

Cyber-Physical System (CPS) is a kind of large-scale and networked system that has drawn much attention in academia recently. Existing studies provide the extent for CPS research, but a systematic and extensive review of recent research on CPS is missing. Accordingly, this paper reviews 83 papers regarding theoretical foundations for CPS from 2012 to 2017 in the Scopus database aiming to provide scholars and practitioners with a comprehensive overview. The selected papers are grouped into 10 research categories. The contents of the papers in each research category are summarized. The challenges and research trends are illustrated as well.

Digital production dictates new approaches to the organization of technological processes, including the development of cyber-physical systems within the framework of Industry 4.0. The development of these systems involves the use of not only classical methods, but also additive technologies in production. The article deals with the concept of a smart production system to find the optimal technological process, which is based on the user defined constraints and expert data of the cloud cyber-physical system.
