About

Sune Chung Jepsen is a researcher at the forefront of Industry 4.0, specializing in system integration, asset interoperability, and the development of flexible, reconfigurable production systems. His work directly addresses the critical challenge of enabling seamless communication between diverse industrial assets—a foundational requirement for realizing the full potential of the Industrial Internet of Things, big data analytics, and cloud computing. Jepsen’s most influential contribution, a 2020 pilot study on asset interoperability challenges (29 citations), provides essential empirical insights into the practical hurdles of implementing Industry 4.0 in laboratory settings. He further advances the field by designing and evaluating interoperable middleware architectures, as demonstrated in his 2023 work on robotic system reconfiguration. Jepsen also contributes to the development of physical demonstration facilities, such as his 2021 research setup for flexible production (10 citations), which serve as crucial testbeds for translating theoretical concepts into operational reality. His research is instrumental in bridging the gap between the visionary promises of smart manufacturing and the tangible engineering solutions needed to achieve dynamic, cost-effective production.
