Cyber-Physical Systems
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are integrated systems where computing and physical processes interact in real-time. These systems form the basis for Industry 4.0 and enable the networking of production systems with digital control and monitoring. CPS require specialized knowledge in network technologies, data communication, and IT security to develop robust and secure solutions.
