Abstract
This work aims to present a roadmap towards the Cyber-Physical implementation at Tecnologico de Monterrey. This document describes the approach to conceptualize, design, and implement a mixed virtual environment that fulfills the Paradigm of Industry 4.0. This implementation has the following benefits: 1) The Cyber-Learning-Factory that emulates a real, controlled, Industry 4.0 workplace, 2) It allows the students to design a solution to manufacture and assembly a product from a realistic product specification 3) It allows the students to play similar roles to those found in industry positions. This concept was validated on a project to build a product that integrates autonomous, industrial and collaborative robots, Product and Process Digital Twins, flexible CNC machinery and Additive Manufacturing, Simulation stations and CAD/CAM/CAE applications, Horizontal and Vertical Integration (MES and ERP), Augmented-Virtual and Mixed Reality aids and all the IT infrastructure and applications supporting IoT, Cyber Security, Cloud Computing and Big Data & Analytics.
