From cyber-physical systems to Industry 4.0: make future manufacturing become possible

Abstract: Recently, 'Industry 4.0' has become the supporting force in the manufacturing field. From CPS to Industry 4.0, they are leading a new round of industrial revolution. To meet the fourth industrial revolution, USA, European countries, Japan, South Korea and China have presented different versions of the so-called 'Industry 4.0' strategies respectively, which are different from each other in the content, but their common goal is to achieve manufacturing structural adjustment and restructuring and upgrading, to seize a place for future manufacturing, to provide users with better service. What is more, we summarised the five major trends of the future manufacturing. Then, we introduce some enabling technologies about Industry 4.0, among them, CPS plays a key role in the Industry 4.0 factory. Based on the customer to business (C2B) mode, we regard everything as a service, and propose a structure of Industry 4.0. Finally, the automotive industry as an example, we make a brief introduction about an Industry 4.0 case. [Received 15 December 2015; Revised 30 May 2016; Accepted 30 May 2016]

Organic matter stabilization in aggregates and density fractions in paddy soil depending on long-term fertilization: Tracing of pathways by 13C natural abundance

Abstract: Previous studies on upland soils showed that 13C natural abundance can successfully reveal C stabilization pathways between aggregates and soil organic matter (SOM) density fractions. The direction of C stabilization in paddies can, however, deviate from that in upland soils owing to i) periodic drying–rewetting cycles, with oxygen pulses under oxic conditions, and thus, shifts in microbial processing of organic residues, and ii) intensive organic and mineral fertilization. To trace C stabilization in paddies, soil was sampled from a long-term field experiment under an unfertilized Control and NPK, NPK + straw, and NPK + manure fertilizer regimes. Soil was analyzed for total C, microbial biomass (MB), and dissolved organic C, and separated into three classes based on aggregate size (>250 μm, 53–250 μm, and
