Abstract

<p>This paper introduces new maintenance and testing protocols regarding processes in the railway industry. The first protocol is general and can be applied to industries working in similar production processes. The second and third protocols are more specific to the railway industry and concern the turning-machine production line and the pneumatic testing of train braking systems, respectively. This study has been conducted within the framework of industry research on the design of intelligent control and actuation systems suitable for auto-adaptive Industry 5.0 facilities.</p>

Highlights

  • According to the Frascati Manual guidelines [1], knowledge gain (KG) represents an important challenge in the field of industrial research and development (R&D)

  • As traceability technologies can be applied to industrial processes, barcode and/or QR code [6]-[12] technologies are useful for supply chain management [11], [12]

  • This study dealt with the design and development of maintenance protocols for the railway industry

Summary

Introduction

According to the Frascati Manual guidelines [1], knowledge gain (KG) represents an important challenge in the field of industrial research and development (R&D). The traceability of processes is, an important part of the risk management process [13] and can be applied to testing procedures [14]-[16], leading to a general improvement of working and testing protocols by means of IoT-supporting technology upgrades and multiple data systems [17]-[18] Another important issue for the optimisation of manufacturing production is process mapping, which can be implemented by 4M (manpower, material, methodology, machine) charts [19][20], the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle [21]-[22] (according to ISO 9001:2015), Xm-R charts [23]-[24] and p-control charts [25]-[27]. There are alternative approaches that facilitate process mapping, namely the enhanced
