This course aims at introducing the data-driven management of cyber physical production systems (CPPS) in which the focus is placed on i) exploitation of data generated within CPPS and ii) exploring new knowledge through aggregating and interlinking the accumulated data. During the course, we elaborate on CPPS and its data-driven characteristics, the potentials for utilizing accumulated data for improving the management of CPPS and associated process as well as exploring new knowledge using novel approaches of data science (machine learning, predictive analytics) and knowledge engineering.
