Abstract: Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are pivotal in the evolution of advanced manufacturing systems, enabling enhanced connectivity, intelligence, and automation. This paper explores the integration of CPS in manufacturing, focusing on their role in connecting physical and digital components through the Internet of Things (IoT), sensors, and control systems. We discuss the architecture of CPS, including data acquisition, processing, and feedback mechanisms, and examine their application in smart factories, predictive maintenance, and autonomous manufacturing. The challenges of implementing CPS, such as cybersecurity risks, data management, and system interoperability, are also addressed. Case studies highlight the benefits of CPS in improving operational efficiency, reducing downtime, and enabling more adaptive manufacturing processes. The paper concludes by discussing the future potential of CPS to revolutionize manufacturing systems through increased connectivity and intelligence.
