the future cyber-physical production system be evaluated and assessed and what distinguishes it from conventional production systems? To answer these questions, assessment aspects of conventional automation systems have to be summed up and placed in relation to the new ways and the impact of future systems technologies entailing “cyber abilities”. This work is by nature theoretic and brings together literature reviews, interviews with experts, brainstorming ideas, analysis, and scenario analysis techniques. The approach chosen is based on literature review and brainstorming analysis which were conducted to condense the driving forces and thereby enabling the definition of an evaluation model. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are defined as “integrations of computation with physical processes” [30]. The combination of physical processes with intelligent computer systems leads to new applications in various domains. In this paper, cyber-physical systems are considered in the context of production technologies, which leads to the term cyber-physical production systems. In the past few years, a lot of research has been conducted on technologies aiming for value-adds. There are multiple trends in information technology that will affect all areas of manufacturing. However, since these technologies are yet to be used by the industry on a large scale, it is difficult to estimate the impact of cyber-physical production systems. For this reason, an evaluation model was developed to assess typical characteristics of cyber-physical production systems. Based on a survey of literature on various cyber-physical system technologies, methods and tools, value-adds and their driving patterns have been identified. In this paper, the research approach to the evalu
