Abstract

This chapter introduces the context and aims of this book. In addition, it provides a detailed description of industrial production systems including their life cycle, stakeholders, and data integration challenges. It also includes an analysis of the types of intelligent engineering applications that are needed to support flexible production in line with the views of current smart manufacturing initiatives, in particular Industrie 4.0.
