Factory Of The Future

Abstract Cyber-Manufacturing System (CMS) is a vision for the factory of the future, where manufacturing processes and physical components are seamlessly integrated with computational processes to provide agile, adaptive, and scalable manufacturing services. Functional elements of CMS are digitized, registered, and shared with users and stakeholders through various computer networks and the Internet. CMS incorporates recent advances in the Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Cyber-Physical System, Service-Oriented Technologies, Modeling and Simulation, Sensor Networks, Machine Learning, Data Analytics, and Advanced Manufacturing Processes. CMS possesses intelligence such as self-monitoring, self-adjustment, self-prediction, self-allocation, self-configuration, self-scalability, self-remediating, and self-reusing. Such intelligent capabilities enable CMS to contribute to manufacturing sustainability. However, prior studies are limited in addressing a narrow scope of CMS or in covering only a subset of sustainability dimensions. This paper addresses the research gap by developing a holistic CMS infrastructure and adopting a Distance-to-Target based sustainability assessment approach to measure the sustainability benefits of CMS. To illustrate how the infrastructure and metrics are used to analyze the sustainability benefits of CMS, an example case is presented. The results show that CMS can deliver substantial sustainability benefits through increased productivity, profitability & energy efficiencies, and reduction of working-in-process (WIP) inventory levels & logistics costs.

Life cycle assessment software packages such as SimaPro, GaBi, and Umberto have become well-established tools for conducting environmental impact analysis. However, applications for broader sustainability assessment are limited. Recent research has developed an information modeling framework to compose models of unit manufacturing processes for sustainability assessment and has led to the definition of unit manufacturing process information modeling concepts. An engineer can use the framework to conduct manufacturing system-level sustainability assessments by composing models of unit manufacturing processes. Assessment results can aid engineers in selecting the superior manufacturing process flow for a given product. To demonstrate usefulness of the information framework, a prototype desktop application has been developed. The application was implemented in Windows Project Foundation (WPF) using C# as the coding language to create a graphical user interface. Mathworks MATLAB serves as the calculation engine. Unit manufacturing process models follow the framework and are read by the application, which produces a sustainability assessment for the manufacturing process flow. A manufacturing process flow for an automobile-like metal product acts is used to demonstrate the software application.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is both valuable and harmful since it contains a large number of profitable and hazardous materials and elements at the same time. At component level, many parts of the discarded equipment are still functional and recoverable. Thus it is necessary to develop a distributed and intelligent system to support WEEE recovery and recycling. In recent years, the Cloud concept has gained increasing popularity since it provides a service-oriented architecture that integrates various resources over the network. Cloud Manufacturing systems are proposed world-wide to support operational manufacturing processes. In this research, Cloud Manufacturing is further extended to the WEEE recovery and recycling context. A Cloud-based WEEE Recovery system is developed to provide modularized recovery services on the Cloud. A data management system is developed as well, which maintains the knowledge throughout the product lifecycle. A product tracking mechanism is also proposed with the help of the Quick Respond code method.

Service-oriented manufacturing is the new development of manufacturing systems, and manufacturing supply chain service is also an important part of the service-oriented manufacturing systems; hence, the optimal selection of parts suppliers becomes one of key problems in the supply chain system. Complex network theories made a rapid progress in recent years, but the classical models such as BA model and WS model can not resolve the widespread problems of manufacturing supply chain, such as the repeated attachment of edge and fixed number of vertices, but edges increased with preferential connectivity, and flexible edges’ probability. A core model is proposed to resolve the problem in the paper: it maps the parts supply relationship as a repeatable core; a vertex’s probability distribution function integrating the edge’s rate and vertex’s degree is put forward; some simulations, such as the growth of core, the degree distribution characteristics, and the impacting of parameter, are carried out in our experiments, and the case study is set also. The paper proposed a novel model to analyze the manufacturing supply chain system from the insights of complex network.

In the paper the advantages of the service-oriented architecture of e-government and its prospects for Ukraine are revealed. Service-oriented e-government is governed by a service-oriented architecture. Service-oriented architecture is the functionality of software as services aiming to establish compatibility in their provision. The model of service-oriented e-government architecture is divided into five layers (levels), arranged from bottom to top: operational level, semantic level, service level, process level, presentation level. The practice of service-oriented e-government in foreign countries is studies: USA, Canada, and Great Britain. These countries implement the so-called Anglo-American model of informatization of the state, which is based on: removal of redundant functions of government, delivery of public services to citizens, meeting the needs of citizens through information technology. This model promotes the development of transactions, payment for services via the Internet. Foreign experience shows that a key feature of government activities is to ensure the success of the implemented actions, as well as to control the quality and scope of services. Therefore, when developing e-government projects, the governments take their efforts to get the corresponding positive consequences in the availability of services: providing quality services to citizens and businesses; increasing revenues; easing the financial burden on federal and local governments, primarily by reducing documents and electronic services on the Internet. The trends of the model implementation in Ukraine are studies. The evolution of the issue included the Program «Electronic Ukraine», the realization of the E-Government Information System. The further steps are analyzed based on the information from the official website of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine which provides the cases of service-oriented state (Popular services). The projects of the Ministry on Digital State digitize many services, update their legal framework, streamline the activity of state registers, and provide technical capabilities and data protection. It is concluded that service-oriented architecture of e-government is characterized by the features of its implementation based on such principles as: information-centric approach; the principle of a common platform, which focuses on creating an open information environment and common technological infrastructure for more effective collaboration of all participants and users of e-government; the principle of user orientation (all e-government activities are aimed at meeting the needs of service consumers); the principle of security and confidentiality.
