Abstract

The proposed talk is a part of large work developed since many years with my team at UTT and different collaboration around the world. In France's Grand Est region, recognized for its evolving industry and innovative practices, a comprehensive, data-informed plenary speech on Industry X.0 is delivered. This speech investigates how data shapes today's production and innovation. It also highlights the challenges introduced by the evolving data-centric Industry X.0. Transitioning from theoretical insights to real- world applications, the speech delves into modern factory trends, spotlighting the flexible production systems influenced by Industry 4.0. It further examines real-time decision-making techniques, detailing approaches such as offline, online, and semi-online scheduling. Additionally, the Network of Supply Systems (NSS) and its role in shaping digital and sustainable business practices are discussed, emphasizing the alignment of products and strategies with user demands. The interplay between Data, Information, and Knowledge in production settings is emphasized. The speech examines the traditional 'Big Data' approach and presents the 'Smart Data' perspective as an avenue for enhanced efficiency. In illustrating this, the value and impact of different types of information, especially in task scheduling, are explored. The topic of quality control in Industry X.0 is also broached, focusing on state-of-the-art systems that integrate with cyber-physical production systems (CPPS). The innovative "Meta" quality control concept, leveraging digital twin models, is introduced and contextualized using a case example. Concluding, the speech underscores the importance of innovation in Industry X.0, ofnew ideas and cross-disciplinary collaboration. There's also a call to reimagine educational approaches in line with Society 5.0 and Industry 5.0 principles. The plenary speech wraps up by envisioning the future trajectory of Industry X.0, championing the intelligent utilization of technology in sync with human skills and evolving societal needs.
