5.  A mechatronic System consists of automated mechanical and
electronic machines
 Devices, materials and machines:
− are connected together, using internet-based wireless networks
− can communicate to each other corporately
− can control, configure, diagnose and optimize themselves

9. Smart Product :
 is an active element which moves in a CPS
 can be connected to the other entities such as materials,
machines and logistics systems
 has three main components:
− Physical  mechanical or electrical parts
− Smart  sensors, microprocessors, data storage, …
− Connectivity  wired or wireless
