Abstract Following the Industry 4.0 paradigm with the rise of smart factories, there is a growing need in exploring digital manufacturing tools compatible with Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) functionalities. This paper discusses the concept of Virtual Commissioning (VC) including applications in present and near-future advanced automation and production. Specifically, global trends towards Industry 4.0 and virtual manufacturing processes are explored in addition to how and why these emerging technologies could be applied. Furthermore, the advantages of VC processes are contrasted to Traditional Physical Commissioning (TPC) to highlight the evolution of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software and the optimization of manufacturing processes since the turn of the century. This research aims to use state-of-the-art PLM software to replicate a physical prototype in near-perfect functionality to demonstrate the effectiveness of VC in an industrial setting. Developing a methodology for this research, the analysis is followed by a case study involving a Mini Festo Pick-and-Place (P&P) unit simulated in Siemens Tecnomatix Process Simulate and controlled via ladder logic executed in Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal. As expected, the results of this case study validate the potential for optimized contemporary manufacturing solutions in which higher-quality goods are reliably produced with minimal delays at all-time low principal investments through the use of VC tools.

This article addresses the evolution of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) in the automotive industry, exploring its contribution to a shift in the maintenance paradigm. To this end, we firstly present the concepts of predictive maintenance (PdM), condition-based maintenance (CBM), and their applications to increase awareness of why and how these concepts are revolutionizing the automotive industry. Then, we introduce the business process management (BPM) and business process model and notation (BPMN) methodologies, as well as their relationship with maintenance. Finally, we present the case study of the Renault Cacia, which is developing and implementing the concepts mentioned above.

Nowadays, engineering students have to improve specific competencies to tackle the challenges of 21st-century-industry, referred to as Industry 4.0. Hence, this article describes the integration and implementation of Education 4.0 strategies with the new educational model of our university to respond to the needs of Industry 4.0 and society. The TEC21 Educational Model implemented at Tecnologico de Monterrey in Mexico aims to develop disciplinary and transversal competencies for creative and strategic problem-solving of present and future challenges. Education 4.0, as opposed to traditional education, seeks to provide solutions to these challenges through innovative pedagogies supported by emerging technologies. This article presents a case study of a Capstone project developed with undergraduate engineering students. The proposed structure integrates the TEC21 model and Education 4.0 through new strategies and laboratories, all linked to industry. The results of a multidisciplinary project focused on an electric vehicle racing team are presented, composed of Education 4.0 elements and competencies development in leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship. The project was a collaboration between academia and the productive sector. The results verified the students’ success in acquiring the necessary competencies and skills to become technological leaders in today’s modern industry. One of the main contributions shown is a suitable education framework for bringing together the characteristics established by Education 4.0 and achieved by our educational experience based on Education 4.0.

AbstractThe availability of new research for IoT support and the human-centric perspective of industry 4.0 opens a gap to support operators in unleashing their creativity so they can provide improvements opportunities with IoT technology. This paper presents a case-study carried out in four Swedish manufacturing companies, where four different workshops were facilitated to support operators in the conceptualization of manufacturing improvements with IoT technologies. The empirical material gathered during these workshops has been analyzed in five different reflective sessions and discussed in light of previous research from industry 4.0, operators, and IoT support. Results indicate that operators can collaboratively create conceptual IoT solutions and that expressiveness in communicating their ideas and needs using IoT technology is more relevant than technical aspects and details of their proposed IoT solutions. This technological expressiveness is identified as a necessary skill to be cultivated on the shop floor and can potentially contribute to making a more effective and socially sustainable industrial landscape in the future.
