The Cyber-Physical Production System (CPPS) is a concept derived from software (cyber) and hardware (physical) applications and is based on global information exchange between such systems. The CPPS is known as a trend of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) focusing on flexibility regarding new products and adaptability to new requirements. This paper focuses on two I4.0 scenarios described by the Platform Industrie 4.0 that describe challenges for the industry towards its digital future. First, it looks at the Order Controlled Production (OCP) scenario that deals with flexible and self-configuring production networks. It describes the dynamic organization of production resources required to execute a production order. Second, the Adaptable Factory (AF) application scenario is discussed, which focuses on the configuration of production resources and describes the adaptability of an individual facility through (physical) modification. This paper first provides a detailed analysis of the requirements from these scenarios. Furthermore, it analyses the current Multi-Agent System (MAS) architectures and agent-based planning and decision support systems requirements. MAS can be used to create application-independent I4.0 systems with arbitrary hardware automation platforms. To create a scalable communication network that also supports application independence and enables the semantically machine-readable description of the exchanged data, the OPC UA standard was adopted. As a result of the study, the concept shows how different and independent automation platforms can be seamlessly connected via OPC UA. The proposed MAS concept has been evaluated in different use cases, namely OCP and AF.

网络物理生产系统（CPPS）是从软件（网络）和硬件（物理）应用程序派生的概念，并且基于此类系统之间的全局信息交换。CPPS被称为工业4.0（I4.0）趋势，其重点是新产品的灵活性和对新要求的适应性。本文重点介绍Platform Industrie 4.0所描述的两个I4.0场景，这些场景描述了行业朝着其数字化未来的挑战。首先，它研究了订单控制生产（OCP）场景，该场景处理灵活且可自我配置的生产网络。它描述了执行生产订单所需的生产资源的动态组织。其次，讨论自适应工厂（AF）的应用场景，它着重于生产资源的配置，并通过（物理）修改描述了单个设施的适应性。本文首先提供了对这些方案中需求的详细分析。此外，它分析了当前的多代理系统（MAS）架构以及基于代理的计划和决策支持系统的要求。MAS可用于使用任意硬件自动化平台创建独立于应用程序的I4.0系统。为了创建可扩展的通信网络，该网络还支持应用程序独立性，并允许对交换的数据进行语义上机器可读的描述，因此采用了OPC UA标准。研究的结果表明，该概念说明了如何通过OPC UA无缝连接不同的独立自动化平台。
