Machine Tools: An Industry 4.0 Perspective
暫譯: 機械工具：工業4.0的視角

本書介紹了工業4.0在機械工具中的應用，通過最新可用數位技術的概述進行說明。它專注於數位雙胞胎、工業控制之間的通訊、運動以及輸入/輸出設備，並探討中小企業的可持續性。

《機械工具：工業4.0的視角》專注於機械工具的數位雙胞胎，這改善了機器的壽命，並提供了一種在因各種情況而完全封鎖的情況下運行工廠的方法。它概述了通過標準化數位介面（如SERCOS和USB）進行的工業控制、運動和輸入/輸出設備之間的通訊。本書接著討論了適用於離散製造的工業網路安全系統，包括網路攻擊和人為錯誤，並針對與軟體、硬體和數據相關的安全性進行探討。本書還探討了大數據在生產不同階段的應用，並說明了如預測性維護、產品質量、產品生命週期管理（PLM）等用途。

本書是工業、機械和機電工程本科生、研究生及碩士生的理想參考資料，亦適合專業人士和一般讀者。
