Production companies in the industrialized countries are increasingly turning to the creation of smart factory, based on the integration of cyber and physical elements, to the global market was competitive, distinctive and highly successful. This paper presents a vision of structuring cyber-physical systems and their applications in the field of manufacturing in order to create intelligent production environments in mind the smart factory.
