Industrial blockchain
Blockchain is a type of distributed ledger which is shared within a Peer to Peer (P2P) network and its content is kept identical among all participants of the network.[1] Blockchain technology has attracted lots of attentions recently due to its inherent advantages in enhancing security and privacy,[2] improves network’s fault tolerance,[3] providing a faster settlement and reconciliation,[4] and creating a scalable network.[5][6][7] Blockchain has been adopted by several industries, such as, supply chain traceability system,[8][9] M2M communication in the electrical grid system,[10] decentralized logistic operation,[11] decentralized data sharing among healthcare applications,[12] and financial services in banking industry.[13] However, application of blockchain in industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing requires more study and clarification of needs and future direction. In this article, integration of blockchain in Cyber Physical Production Systems is explained.
History
Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) is one of the emerging trends in manufacturing that tries to integrate manufacturing resources in order to enhance efficiency, productivity, and speed. CPPSs are complex interconnected networks of manufacturing elements that aim to integrate physical and computational resources for enhancing transparency, automation and efficiency.[14][15] Advanced interconnectivity, on-demand computational resources, and Industrial Artificial Intelligence (AI)[15] are the key enabler for such futuristic vision of CPPSs. CPPS along with cloud manufacturing are two of the most emphasized trends in manufacturing and their integration with new technologies such as blockchain can resolve many challenges associated with their real world implementation.
Blockchain enabled Cyber Physical Systems (BCPS)
This section emphasizes the application of blockchain in the realization of the CPS paradigm. An advanced CPS is typically consists of 5 levels,[14] namely, 1- Connection, 2- Conversion, 3- Cyber, 4- Cognition, and 5-Configure. The impact of blockchain in each layer is explained below:
Connection
Gathering data from manufacturing shop floor, tracking products history in the supply chain, and secure and reliable data transfer are the crucial elements in the CPS connectivity. In a blockchain network, different nodes (PCs, controllers, actuators, etc.) with higher capacity could be used as a local server (Micro-Cloud) to provide services to the resource-restricted elements of the network and thus contribute to the network reliability and resilience.[15]). Distributed storage also could be utilized in this technology for reducing network congestion [16]
Conversion
The second step in designing a CPS is to convert raw data into meaningful information. This transformation empowers manufacturing ecosystem with transparency and automation.[17] Advanced edge and fog computing technologies[18] can provide a platform for on-demand resource access and provisioning an interconnected intelligent network. Blockchain capabilities to remove intermediaries would help in P2P interaction and finally would enhance automation across manufacturing shop floor. Blockchain can improve reliability, security, and evolution of AI tools by creating a shared network of data and intelligence providers, keep a record from the origin of data, and facilitate distributed/federated learning.[15]
Cyber
Manufacturing cyber space includes some of most advanced topics such as big data analytics, digital twin, augmented/virtual reality, and big data storage. A blockchain structure could facilitate the developments towards distributed cloud computing[19] by providing data security,[5][20] distributed data storage,[21] and facilitating data access through a P2P network.[22][23] Blockchain is expected to significantly enhance distributed storage, management, and computing and therefore would potentially contribute to the Cyber space advancement.
Cognition
In this layer, infographic tools are used to support intelligent decision making. Blockchain can provide a distributed decision support system that can potentially improve efficiency, resilience, and cooperative decision making in manufacturing systems.[15]
Configuration
Decisions made in the cyber space are passed to the physical space for enhancing manufacturing productivity, self-configuration, optimization, and condition adaptability across manufacturing shop floor. Blockading would guaranty the authenticity of feedback to the physical space and track implementation history of each decision made through the whole process of cyber-physical interaction.[15]
