Abstract
In the context of smart manufacturing, the concept of Visual Computing is a key enabling technology for Industry 4.0. Visual Computing and Physically-based simulation enables the implementation of interactive, visual and (in most cases) non-disruptive solutions within the context of (a) the production process (off-line or in-line) the shop floor, (b) the interaction with customers and clients in the whole value chain, and/or (c) the product-service schemas. Technologies such as Industrial Big Data, Human-Robot Collaboration, IIOT & 5G, Cybersecurity, Cyber-Physical Systems, Semantic Technologies, Visual Computing and other related technologies have a strong impact in the new ways smart manufacturing is reconfiguring the production. This article presents a theoretical framework for the incorporation of Visual Computing and Physically-based Simulation technologies to Industry 4.0 and Operator 4.0 scenarios. This framework has been already implemented and supports different smart manufacturing scenarios, already running in many SME. Three practical study case scenarios (already deployed into SMEs) are presented and discussed.
Highlights
Industry 4.0 is a worldwide trend intrinsically related with the incorporation of the latest IT technologies coming from other digital domains into the industrial production and advanced manufacturing
We present a theoretical framework for the incorporation of Visual Computing and Physically-based Simulation technologies to Industry 4.0 and Operator 4.0 scenarios
The methodology of the work is based in an applied research conceptualization of the role of Visual Computing in the paradigms of Industry 4.0 and the Operator 4.0, followed by a set of 3 practical examples that are already running in several companies, most of them SME dedicated to the industry & manufacturing sector in fields such as automotive and aeronautics
Summary
Industry 4.0 is a worldwide trend intrinsically related with the incorporation of the latest IT technologies coming from other digital domains into the industrial production and advanced manufacturing. There is a focus shift from the purely physical dimension of production towards a digital dimension of transformation, in which the potential of technologies such as Industrial Big Data, Human-Robot Collaboration, IIOT & 5G, Cybersecurity, Cyber-Physical Systems, Semantic Technologies, Visual Computing and other related technologies have a strong impact in the new ways the smart manufacturing is reconfiguring the production. In this context, Visual Computing is a key enabling technology for Industry 4.0. The implementation of heat transfer simulation techniques in the context of sheet metal cutting, enables interactive assessment, optimization and path
