Distributed control via modularized CPS architecture Lessons learnt from an industrial case study

This paper provides a discussion about modularization of production systems equipment (i.e. logistic or manufacturing equipment) with embedded controllers that are at the basis of the paradigm of CPS (Cyber Physical Systems). The paper strongly grounds both on a solid scientific background and on an industrial case study implementation, thus, providing empirical evidences that the authors of this paper tested within an industrial pilot.
