ETRI has embarked on research to manufacture products that reflect each customer’s requirements by interlocking small production module units based on a CPS, Cyber-Physical System.
Cyber-Physical System is a system that allows collaboration between cyber-space and the physical world, where physical entities communicate with one another and are controlled in an automatic and intellectual manner. CPS can be applied to a vast range of areas, including smart manufacturing, next-generation automobiles, next-generation national defense, smart grids, and smart transportation.
If CPS is adopted as a core technology in the collaboration of ICT and manufacturing, Korea will have a chance to have a global market initiative in manufacturing.
ETRI is currently developing a standardization framework and reference models to support the convergence of ICT and manufacturing. When developed, the new technology will help apply ICT to the manufacturing industry, thereby intellectualizing products, the manufacturing process, production, factories, and manufacturing ecosystem as well as providing foundational models and standardization roadmaps necessary for the evolution toward ICT convergent manufacturing.

ETRI researchers are planning to complete the R&D of foundational technology within three years and begin commercialization through technology transfer to businesses that develop manufacturing automation facilities and software technology.
ETRI is also pursuing joint research with the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany to develop core technologies. A superpower in the manufacturing industry and manufacturing facilities, Germany has been playing a leading role in implementing 'Industry 4.0'
Dr. Chae-deok Lim, director of Embedded SW Research Department of ETRI, said “The development of the technology to converge ICT and manufacturing will play an important role in strengthening the competitive power of the manufacturing industry in Korea.”
