Abstract Digital manufacturing technologies have quickly become ubiquitous in the manufacturing industry. The transformation commonly referred to as the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, has ushered in a wide range of communication technologies, connection mechanisms, and data analysis capabilities. These technologies provide powerful tools to create more lean, profitable, and data-driven manufacturing processes. This paper reviews modern communication technologies and connection architectures for Digital Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 applications. An introduction to cyber-physical systems and a review of digital manufacturing trends is followed by an overview of data acquisition methods for manufacturing processes. Numerous communication protocols are presented and discussed for connecting disparate machines and processes. Flexible data architectures are discussed, and examples of machine monitoring implementations are provided. Finally, select implementations of these communication protocols and architectures are surveyed with recommendations for future architecture implementations.

Abstract The advent of Industry 4.0 is expected to dramatically change the manufacturing industry as we know it today. Highly standardized, rigid manufacturing processes need to become self-organizing and decentralized. This flexibility leads to new challenges to the management of smart factories in general and production planning and control in particular. In this contribution, we illustrate how established techniques from Business Process Management (BPM) hold great potential to conquer challenges in Industry 4.0. Therefore, we show three application cases based on the DFKI-Smart-Lego-Factory, a fully automated “smart factory” built out of LEGO® bricks, which demonstrates the potentials of BPM methodology for Industry 4.0 in an innovative, yet easily accessible way. For each application case (model-based management, process mining, prediction of manufacturing processes) in a smart factory, we describe the specific challenges of Industry 4.0, how BPM can be used to address these challenges, and, their realization within the DFKI-Smart-Lego-Factory.

Abstract With advances in automation, industry seeks for optimization while new products are developed and manufacturing processes are becoming smarter. In this sense, virtual manufacturing validations have been demanded for reducing the cost with physical prototypes, ensuring ergonomically safe processes and increasing the quality of processes by emulating it realistically, levering automation utilization in industry environments with a faster and safer manner. By that, this research proposes the use of Tecnomatix Siemens® PLM software for process simulation of 7050 aluminum drilling, material which is widely used in aerospace industry, allowing the evaluation of complexes scenarios with multi-robot integration and its conditions and variables, in order to improve the machining process and its aeronautical structural assemblies. Thus, this research provided a relevant contribution regarding the analysis of main process parameters to obtain an efficient sequence of drilling, its productivity and ergonomic conditions.

Hybrid Technologies

The role of additive technologies in industrial development was highlighted, in particular, for implementation of the concept “Industry 4.0”. We discussed their significance for digital manufacturing of parts having complex configuration with internal cavities and functionally gradient properties. We analyzed the main drawbacks of additive technologies and suggested the ways to overcome them. We described the problem in creating the equipment for hybrid technologies on the basis of a processing center and an industrial robot. We developed a concept for creating a Russian-made machine-tool for using hybrid technologies. Solutions are proposed for improving the structure of the material of parts.
