Automation of a system brings along efficiency, controllability and accuracy. It is a major challenge, owing to the complexities involved. Several local automation techniques have been implemented in the past. This work presents the current automation tool called cyber physical system (CPS). It is the combination of physical and cyber systems that are communicating with each other at all levels. Embedded networks and computers control the physical processes using the data obtained through feedback loops where physical processes control computations and vice versa. The applications of CPS are revolutionary as it can be observed in emerging intelligent buildings, smart cars, robots, and medical devices. However, a review of research on CPS is essential. This work presents literature review and studies the Cyber Physical Systems with a particular focus on its significance in various fields like manufacturing, education, transport, construction and medical. As a result, a CPS control system architecture for the introduction and organization of influencing aspects for CPS related to various sectors is presented to support practitioners in the realization of smart process control concepts.
