The Critical Role of CPS in Achieving Smart Manufacturing Goals

Shortly, factories will undergo a revolution with cyber-physical systems (CPS) at their core - a convergence of physical machines and digital intelligence.

CPS allows factories to operate efficiently and flexibly, achieving higher productivity, customized orders and less waste. A 2024 study revealed that CPS can boost productivity by 38% through real-time coordination. As illustrated in Li's factory, where his robots effortlessly switch tasks. However, just like any open market, CPS can be susceptible to security threats , putting production at risk 

CPS systems are valuable but vulnerable to hacking by 2025, costing trillions. These systems can be protected through AI cybersecurity solutions like Check Point Quantum and IBM Blockchain encryption. An attack on Elena's CPS cost millions and a supply chain attack targets a CPS vendor.

70% of CPS attacks exploit weak interfaces, risking data security. Elena's Factory now uses these tools to detect and prevent attacks. 🔒🏭
