<strong>Cyber</strong> <strong>Physical</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> – <strong>Situation</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong>DRAFT – March 9, 2012integrated smoothly and faster than the norm to be effective. 52 There is little communication andcollaboration between the manufacturing and information technology communities in both academia andindustry, which may be a cause of the slow integration of new systems and technologies. 53Because design and engineering processes and their software applications are located throughout theproduction network, information quality is highly important. A 2004 report published by GartnerResearch found that 25% of Fortune 1000 companies have reported issues finding and correcting qualityproblems, which can cause several billion dollar losses from production delays. 54In order for a revival and improvement of U.S. manufacturing to occur, an emphasis must be placed onimproving both the education and workforce that can be applied to the industry. 55 Access to skilledworkers in manufacturing is limited, and the next-generation workforce must be able to successfullydevelop and use CPS technologies in manufacturing. These workers will be able to take full advantage ofmanufacturing technology using their skills and talent. 56 Changes in the education available are needed tohelp to develop this highly skilled and prepared workforce and to spur advanced research. Othercountries, such as China, South Korea, and India, are largely investing in research and innovation foradvancements in manufacturing. 57MEASUREMENT PROBLEMS AND IMPEDIMENTSAdvancements in measurement science for manufacturing are necessary before highly integrated CPS canachieve significant advances. Complex, first- to-market products should be quickly, safely, and costeffectively brought to market by manufacturing processes and equipment. Interoperability of systems inmanufacturing remains a challenge yet can help streamline production processes using data and virtualmodeling that is consistent across the supply chain. Measurement science will allow for improvements inadvanced manufacturing and CPS by increasing the versatility, autonomy, and re-tasking of robots andautomation technologies; enabling real-time monitoring, control, and performance optimization ofsystems in factories; facilitating integration of engineering information systems to improve product andprocess performance; and enabling rapid and cost-effective production of complex products. 58To successfully design and implement CPS and integrate applications, there is a need for newmeasurement science.
