Abstract
COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the re-shaping of globalized manufacturing industry. Achieving a high level of resilience is thereby a recognized, essential ability of future manufacturing systems with the advances in smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0. In this work, a conceptual framework for resilient manufacturing strategy enabled by Industrial Internet is proposed. It is elaborated as a four-phase, closed-loop process that centered on proactive industry assessment. Key enabling technologies for the proposed framework are outlined in data acquisition and management, big data analysis, intelligent services, and others. Industrial Internet-enabled implementations in China in response to COVID-19 have then been reviewed and discussed from 3Rs’ perspective, i.e. manufacturer capacity Recovery, supply chain Resilience and emergency Response. It is suggested that an industry-specific and comprehensive selection coordinated with the guiding policy and supporting regulations should be performed at the national, at least regional level.
Highlights
1 Introduction In 2020, the world had been seriously struck by the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic
The newly established systematic “dual circulation” development pattern of China is looking at the domestic market as the country’s economic mainstay with domestic and foreign markets complementing each other [3]. This further raises the bar for manufacturing systems in terms of responsiveness, stability and resilience, with the advances in smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0
Resilient manufacturing strategy is characterized by agile response and organized recovery, which depends on the comprehensive accurate real-time data from enterprise, as well as the flexible resources organization
Summary
In 2020, the world had been seriously struck by the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic Such a disaster leads to severe damage, even fracture, to the supply chain in many industries, due to the city-to-country level lockdown and travel suspension. The newly established systematic “dual circulation” development pattern of China is looking at the domestic market as the country’s economic mainstay with domestic and foreign markets complementing each other [3] This further raises the bar for manufacturing systems in terms of responsiveness, stability and resilience, with the advances in smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0. Ivanov et al [6] has conducted a series of studies on how to integrate agility in production capacity conversion, resilience and viability in supply chain Existing manufacturing paradigms, such as agile manufacturing, reconfigurable manufacturing, and cloud manufacturing, aim to meet dynamic and personalized demand in a cost-effective manner, by manufacturing resource sharing and optimized configuration.
