Simulation Framework for Cyber-Physical Production System: Applying Concept of LVC Interoperation

In Industry 4.0, many manufacturers have built smart factories by ICTs (Information and Communications Technology), and simulation is one of the core technologies for smart manufacturing. Various kinds of simulations, depending on system levels, such as assembly line, logistics, worker, and process, are utilized for smart manufacturing. Manufacturers own heterogeneous simulations; however, they have difficulty integrating and interoperating them. This paper proposes a novel simulation framework for smart manufacturing based on the concept of live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) simulation. The LVC interoperation provides a synthetic simulation environment with the above three types of simulations. With the LVC interoperation, we propose a systematic and efficient architecture for smart manufacturing. To be specific, the interface technologies between the heterogeneous simulations and their interoperable methods are developed. Finally, we provide a practical LVC simulation applied in the manufacturing company and show what synergy can be created using the LVC simulation.

The Core

This chapter provides an introduction to the intersection of international development and digital accessibility, and provides an underpinning for the entire book. Most research on information and communications technology (ICT) accessibility and innovation for persons with disabilities has focused primarily on developed countries. Yet many of the most creative, innovative, and resource-conserving innovations are occurring in the Global South. In this chapter, the editors of the book introduce the core international efforts and legal documents related to accessible technology in the Global South, propose a number of reasons why researchers often miss the innovations and contributions occurring in the Global South, and offer an introduction to the chapters contained in the book.

The Internet Of Things

We are amidst a noteworthy change with respect to the manner in which we make items, because of the digitization of assembling. This change is convincing to the point that it is being called Industry 4.0 to speak to the fourth insurgency that has happened in assembling. Industry 4.0 is flagging an adjustment in the conventional assembling scene. Otherwise called the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Industry 4.0 envelops three mechanical patterns driving this change: network, insight and adaptable robotization. Industry 4.0 portrays the developing pattern towards computerization and information trade in innovation and cycles inside the assembling business, including: The Internet of Things (IoT), The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Cyber-physical Systems (CPS), Smart Manufacturing, Smart Factories, Cloud Computing, Additive Manufacturing, Big Data, Robotics, Cognitive Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Block chain and so forth. This mechanization makes an assembling framework whereby the machines in manufacturing plants are increased with remote network and sensors to screen and picture a whole creation cycle and settle on independent choices. In this paper we are worry about how aptitude and ability of human asset can be grown with the goal that we can conquer this pandemic circumstance effectively. Delicate abilities for taking care of these forthcoming new innovation inserted framework must be taken consideration and carefully instilled by human asset with the goal that simple smooth of efficiency just as hole crossing over of flexibly and request can be conceivable. Skill development should be considered as prioritizing factor for this.

This study aimed at providing an overview of research themes and collaborations in the digital transformation scholarship. The methods of co-word analysis, co-author analysis, and network analysis were employed to network-analyze the keywords, countries, and institutions of 2820 research articles published on the digital transformation topic and indexed by the Web of Science database. Our main results indicated that researchers have mostly focused on three aspects of the digital transformation phenomenon including Technological and Industrial View, Organizational and Managerial View, and Global and Social View. Also, it was realized that Technology, Sustainability, Big Data, Information and Communications Technology, Innovation, Industry 4.0, Artificial Intelligence, Business Model, Social Media, and Digitization are the most recurring themes in this field of research. Besides, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, Blockchain, Machine Learning, Knowledge Management, and Sustainable Development were respectively identified as the five hottest issues in the digital transformation scholarship. The contribution of our study highlights that European countries and specially the institutions of northern Europe have had better performance in the research collaborations in digital transformation.
