Abstract
As many thriving industries are planning to walk on the roadmap of Industrial Revolution 4.0, it has become essential for them to acquaint with essential requirements for deployment of Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics, Virtual Reality, and Artificial Intelligence. Manufacturing Intelligence can be vertically divided into two subgroups as Intelligent Manufacturing and Data Intelligence. Smart manufacturing is the backbone of intelligent manufacturing with the involvement of process automation and automated machine tools. Whereas data intelligence is related to data acquisition, storage, and analysis for smart decision-making. It is possible with the integration of the latest IoT gadgets, cloud computing, and various Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) packages. The selection varies as per the diversified requirements of the manufacturing units. Quality consultancy is required for the selection of tools and techniques in order to excel the business performance. It is followed by the critical phase of deployment with the requirement of high-level expertise. This paper proposes a framework for the deployment of manufacturing intelligence specifically in Small Medium Enterprise (SME). This framework will be the guiding tool for those SMEs who want to apply manufacturing intelligence to their units.
