Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are currently attracting a great deal of attention as a part of the discourse surrounding the fourth industrial revolution. Thus far, the chief focus has been upon complex architectures for supply chain-wide data exchange between intelligent machines. Here, however, we take a very different tack by examining the support CPS may offer for the exchange and acquisition of knowledge-intensive human practices in the context of manual set-up processes on modern production machines. The paper offers contributions to both CSCW and the ongoing development of CPS in three ways. Firstly, it presents a detailed empirical study of knowledge and expertise sharing practices in a production environment. Secondly, the results of this study are used as the basis of an over-arching model that was developed with the express purpose of facilitating design. Finally, CPS-based technical possibilities are matched to the practice-relevant knowledge and expertise sharing requirements captured within the model.

用于制造环境中知识和专业知识共享的网络物理系统：建立支持模型的设计

作为围绕第四次工业革命的论述的一部分，网络物理系统（CPS）当前正引起大量关注。到目前为止，主要重点是在智能机器之间进行供应链范围内数据交换的复杂体系结构。但是，在这里，我们通过检查CPS在现代生产机器上的手动设置过程的背景下为交换和获取知识密集型人类实践提供的支持而采取了截然不同的方法。本文以三种方式为CSCW和CPS的持续发展做出了贡献。首先，它对生产环境中的知识和专长共享实践进行了详细的实证研究。其次，这项研究的结果被用作以促进设计为明确目的而开发的总体模型的基础。最后，基于CPS的技术可能性与模型中捕获的与实践相关的知识和专业知识共享需求相匹配。
