Internet of Things based architecture for additive manufacturing interface

Произведена классификация технологий аддитивного производства по базовому состоянию материала: жидкая основа, твердая основа, порошковая основа. Даны определения распространенных технологий в зависимости от базового состояния материала. Описаны технологические процессы изготовления прототипов и конечных изделий методами аддитивного производства, включающие в себя проектирование 3D-модели, преобразование форматов, нарезку 3D-модели на слои, формирование G-code и непосредственно печать. Рассмотрены технологии четвертой промышленной революции как инструмент повышения эффективности управления технологическими процессами аддитивного производства. Представлена модель модернизации технологического процесса аддитивного производства на основе технологий промышленного интернета вещей, аппаратной реализацией которого является одноплатный компьютер Raspberry Pi, программной реализацией является MTConnect - промышленный стандарт обмена данными станков с числовым программным управлением. Использование Raspberry Pi, подключенных к нему датчиков и программного обеспечения OctoPrint реализует контроль и удаленное управлениe технологическим оборудованием аддитивного производства (3D-принтером) в режиме реального времени. Представлено техническое устройство основных подсистем облачной платформы аддитивного производства. Архитектура предлагаемой системы состоит из четырех уровней: уровень адаптера доступа, уровень виртуализации ресурсов, уровень управления службами, уровень пользовательского инструментария We classified additive manufacturing technologies according to the basic state of the material: liquid base, solid base, powder base. We give definitions of common technologies depending on the basic state of the material. We describe the technological processes of manufacturing prototypes and final products by methods of additive manufacturing, including designing a 3D model, converting formats, slicing a 3D model into layers, forming a G-code and directly printing. We considered the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution as a tool for increasing the efficiency of control of technological processes of additive manufacturing. We present a model of modernization of the technological process of additive manufacturing based on technologies of the industrial internet of things, the hardware implementation of which is a single-board computer Raspberry Pi, the software implementation is MTConnect - an industrial standart for the exchange of data of machine tools with numerical control. Using Raspberry Pi, sensors connected to it and software OctoPrint implements control and remote management of additive manufacturing equipment (3D printer) in real time. We present the technical structure of the main subsystems of the cloud platform for additive manufacturing. The architecture of the proposed system consists of four levels: the access adapter level, the resource virtualization level, the service control level, and the user instrumentation level

Practical Implications

Purpose This study aims to contribute and enrich the scientific debate about the phenomenon called the Internet of Things (IoT) from a managerial perspective. Through the lenses of management and innovation literature, we investigate the main facts that characterize the IoT and developed a conceptual framework to interpret its evolution. The framework has then been applied to the case of a three-dimensional (3D) printing technology used for additive manufacturing. Design/methodology/approach A theoretical analysis of the phenomenon of the IoT and its main elements has been performed to construct a conceptual framework in a managerial fashion able to describe the evolutionary impacts of the phenomenon on the manufacturing industry. Findings Through consequential steps, namely radical, modular, architectural and incremental innovation, and by adopting and integrating the Henderson and Clark model, we explain the cornerstones of the evolutionary impact of the IoT on the manufacturing industry. Finally, we apply our framework to the case of additive manufacturing and 3D printing. Practical implications Our framework’s practical value is related to its employability in interpreting and possibly forecasting the evolution of manufacturing industries thanks to the advent of the IoT, allowing managers to capture value arising from technological changes. Originality/value This study offers a clear and simple model to interpret the impacts of the IoT. Such a goal has been obtained by systematizing the disconnected research on the topic and arranging such contributions into solid paradigms of the managerial literature.
