Abstract
Over the last few year, the metalworking sector has been undergoing rapid and radical transformations driven by global competition and the revision of the production focus that is being moved from mass customization to mass individualization. A results of this is introduction of new manufacturing strategies such as Industry 4.0, a concept that combines cyber-physical systems and promote communication and connectivity. Therefore, this concept changes not only the face of the manufacturing systems but also causes transformation of existing business models and the society as a whole. This paper deals with the recent trends and paradigms in the field of metal forming, resulting from the concept of Industry 4.0 and the modern market challenges. The maim attention is paid on the flexibility of manufacturing systems and recent developments in design of smart forming tools.
Highlights
The Industry 4.0 (I4.0) represents the framework of a new industrial revolution that relies on digitalization and networking as well as the fusion of the cyber and physical worlds [1]
One of the major trend is aimed at increase of manufacturing flexibility and development of intelligent production systems. i.e., introduction of smart tools and machine, which is in harmony with the concept of I. 4.0
The Digitized-die forming (DDF) system allows for control of part geometry and compensation of the shape errors caused by material elastic springback and other process uncertainties, ensuring high accuracy of sheet part
Summary
The Industry 4.0 (I4.0) represents the framework of a new industrial revolution that relies on digitalization and networking as well as the fusion of the cyber and physical worlds [1]. There are several key technologies of I4.0 [3]: CyberPhysical Systems, Industrial Internet of Things, Cloud Manufacturing, Big Data, Machine-to-Machine communication (M2M), Augmented & Virtual Reality, Digital Twins, Smart Maintenance, Energy Efficiency Monitoring, Reconfigurable, Connected & Smart Factory etc. By adding sensors, actuators and other types of intelligent components to physical objects and devices we create integrated systems, but only if enable network communication between such systems they will be upgraded to cyber-physical systems intelligent, networked systems with built-in sensors, actuators and processors that interact with the physical world (including humans as users) and support real-time operations. Product lines can become even "smarter", with people being able to participate more in customizing products
