Popis: Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) play an essential role in today’s production processes, leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance operations such as optimization, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance. This article reviews a cognitive architecture for Artificial Intelligence, which has been developed to establish a standard framework for integrating AI solutions into existing production processes. Given that machines in these processes continuously generate large streams of data, Online Machine Learning (OML) is identified as a crucial extension to the existing architecture. To substantiate this claim, real-world experiments using a slitting machine are conducted, to compare the performance of OML to traditional Batch Machine Learning. The assessment of contemporary OML algorithms using a real production system is a fundamental innovation in this research. The evaluations clearly indicate that OML adds significant value to CPS, and it is strongly recommended as an extension of related architectures, such as the cognitive architecture for AI discussed in this article. Additionally, surrogate-model-based optimization is employed, to determine the optimal hyperparameter settings for the corresponding OML algorithms, aiming to achieve peak performance in their respective tasks.
