Abstract

The exponential growth of cutting-edge technologies continuously pushing the manufacturing industry into the paradigm of smart manufacturing. Smart manufacturing provides the pace of highly competitive market demand and customized intensive production. The goal of smart manufacturing technologies embedded systems in the Industry 4.0 paradigm and lean production is to enhance the flexibility in all tears of the enterprise. It is a big challenge, to measure the flexibility of smart systems for decision-making and adaptation of the new manufacturing technologies. The conceptual architecture of smart manufacturing systems has been proposed to solve the problem. Operational flexibility has been measured using a mathematical model for smart manufacturing in the Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture enabled Cyber-Physical Production System at shop floor level and validated. The results obtained from experimentation depict the operational flexibility, maximum capacity, and breakeven point of the manufacturing system have been improved by using smart manufacturing technologies. The proposed model improves the product manufacturing using Smart Computer Numeric Control Machining, Smart Autonomous Robotic Machining, Smart Additive Manufacturing and Smart Hybrid Additive & Subtractive Manufacturing up to 30.4%, 53.6%, 55% and 65% respectively. It will also help the decision-makers to overcome the challenges of transformation from conventional to smart manufacturing industry 4.0 paradigm.

Highlights

Summary

Introduction

In the era of intense market competition for high quality, costeffective, and customize production, manufacturing industries are trying hard to transform existing manufacturing systems to industry 4.0 or smart manufacturing. The Industry 4.0 short form of fourth Industrial revolution attributed to the latest and most sophisticated manufacturing paradigm enabled with the exponential technologies These exponential technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), cyber physical system (CPS), smart sensors, adaptive robots, 3D printer, Cloud Computing big data and virtual reality. The design principles of smart manufacturing i.e. modularity, interoperability, decentralization, virtualization, real-time capabilities, and service orientation provide the bases to build a robust foundation to design or transform the existing systems into smart manufacturing [1]. These set and well-defined design principles of smart manufacturing (SM) pose some characteristics, associated technologies, and enabling factors. Technology is an indispensable function in system development regarding smart manufacturing either it provides bases or pillars the whole
