Industry 4.0 factories become more and more complex with increased maintenance costs. Reducing costs by cyber-physical (CP) controllers should ensure the commercialization of the CPS for smart factory project results. We implement multi-adaptive CP controllers in the following domains: industrial robot arms, car manufacturing, steel industry, and assembly lines in general. The main objective is to implement such controllers for these application domains and let the industry partners provide feedback about the cost reduction potential. In this paper, we describe the technical infrastructure including deep learning and knowledge acquisition submodules, followed by anomaly detection modules and intelligent user interfaces in the IoT (Internet of Things) paradigm. In addition, we report on three concrete use case implementations of industrial robots and anomaly modeling, knowledge management and anomaly treatment in the steel domain, and anomaly detection in the energy domain.
