Factories of future towards next industrial revolution: Extended abstract

Abstract

The next industrial revolution progresses and will change markets, technologies, industries and society. Smart Systems Integration (SSI) with Cyber Physical Systems will have an high impact on the FoF. This paper introduces new concepts and new visions about next generation of the enterprises. The main capabilities of the CPS, IoT, IoS in the organization, management, optimization and control of production into Factories of Future (FoF) and the impact of nanosciences nanotechnology, intelligent materials and cognitive agents on the FoF are considered.
