Digital transformation and artificial intelligence are creating an opportunity for innovation across all levels of industry and are transforming the world of work by enabling factories to embrace cutting edge Information Technologies (ITs) into their manufacturing processes. Manufacturing Execution Systems (MESs) are abandoning their traditional role of legacy executing middle-ware for embracing the much wider vision of functional interoperability enablers among autonomous, distributed, and collaborative Cyber-Physical Production System (CPPS). In this paper, we propose a basic methodology for universally modeling, digitalizing, and integrating services offered by a variety of isolated workcells into a single, standardized, and augmented production system. The result is a reliable, reconfigurable, and interoperable manufacturing architecture, which privileges Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA) and its rich possibilities for information modeling at a higher level of the common service interoperability, along with Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) lightweight protocols at lower levels of data exchange. The proposed MES architecture has been demonstrated and validated in several use-cases at a research manufacturing laboratory of excellence for industrial testbeds.

Building Information Modeling in Precast Concrete factory should consider the split design and production as a whole, so we should pay attention to import the production information into MES and achieve enterprise level application. This paper studied two methods of importing production information to Manufacturing Execution System, namely DXF drawing and U file. This paper studied how to match information of DXF drawing with MES’s layer, text information and title bar. This paper also studied the correct format of U file and the information that can be resolved by MES. The feasibility of this two methods was verified through the prefabricated building project “Jin-an Hong Bao 7#”, and the types of prefabricated components, information quality, efficiency and cost of the two methods are compared. Dxf drawing is able to cover all kinds of precast components, easy for new comers to master, but the drawing efficiency is low. Currently, U file only supports composite floor slab, and it has a long training period, but it also has extremely low error rate and extremely high drawing efficiency.PC factory should continue to improve u file, which can greatly improve work efficiency and reduce engineering errors.

The intensive development of information technologies and software and hardware of control systems creates conditions for active processes of digitalization of the industry. One of the relevant areas of digitalization in production is the development and implementation of flexible production systems that expand the functionality of production lines and increase the efficiency of the production process. This paper deals with the development of a transport management system of a flexible production system. A solution is proposed that includes a block diagram of the system, hardware and functional logic.

This paper presents a systematic mapping (SM) study with the aim to determine how Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodologies and technologies contribute to energy-related analyses over the course of the entire building life cycle. The method adopted in the study is based on a set of seven research questions. We used a mixed technique combining co-citation analysis and bibliographic coupling in order to analyze the publications’ datasets for the period 2010–2020. The main advantage and novelty of this study are that the joint dataset from the Scopus and Web of Science databases was used to develop the keyword map. The main findings of this study indicate that many BIM-based applications can be used to analyze the building energy performance at all stages of the building life cycle. However, the applications of BIM in conjunction with other information technologies are limited and are still in the initial stage. In the future, the main improvements should be focused on process, model, system, tool, use and information modeling. The most promising long-term solution is an open BIM framework based on open standards, which allows the integration of BIM and energy simulation tools and satisfies specific data exchange requirements.

To solve the problems in manufacturing execution system (MES) design and application, two key issues for MES is studied in this paper. Firstly, a six-layered service-oriented MES system architecture is putforward, which includes enterprises resource layer, component layer, service layer, business process choreography layer, presentation layer and system integration framework layer. Secondly, a multi-view system implementation mode for MES is studied from the aspects of function view, organization view, supporting technologies view and implementation process view. Finally, a case study is provided for its application.

The analysis of road safety is critical in road design. Complying to guidelines is not enough to ensure the highest safety levels, so many of them encourage designers to virtually recreate and test their roads, benefitting from the evolution of driving simulators in recent years. However, an accurate recreation of the road and its environment represents a real bottleneck in the process. A very important limitation lies in the diversity of input data, from different sources and requiring specific adaptations for every single simulator. This paper aims at showing a framework for recreating faster virtual scenarios by using an Industry Foundation Classes (IFC)-based file. This methodology was compared to two other conventional methods for developing driving scenarios. The main outcome of this study has demonstrated that with a data exchange file in IFC format, virtual scenarios can be faster designed to carry out safety audits with driving simulators. As a result, the editing, programming, and processing times were substantially reduced using the proposed IFC exchange file format through a BIM (Building Information Modeling) model. This methodology facilitates cost-savings, execution, and optimization resources in road safety analysis.
