Abstract

In this paper, the authors present a completely new approach to the remote prototyping process, taking into account the distributed nature of design and manufacturing resources. A new model is suggested, taking into account the conditions of the Industry 4.0 concept, along with a component of remote implementation and coordination of operations. On the basis of this model, the architecture of the target system is developed, which is further built and implemented in the actual productive environment. The system’s functionality additionally enables the implementation of the design and production process in critical conditions resulting from natural disasters or epidemic states. The practical application of the developed solutions is presented on the design of a ventilator, which is dedicated to help in the fight against epidemic states, e.g., coronavirus.

Highlights

  • The development of the global economy, which has been observed for a while is conditioned by technological progress

  • The Industry 4.0 concept forces an unconventional approach to the implementation of all activities related to the design, manufacture, and delivery of products and services

  • In order to be able to integrate many processes for the collection and further more efficient use of data, available resources and human capital, it is necessary to use the newest technologies from the fields of information technology, telecommunications, automatics, artificial intelligence, etc

Summary

Introduction

The development of the global economy, which has been observed for a while is conditioned by technological progress. In the case of developing new products, creating innovative concepts, it is very crucial to provide opportunities for the exchange of views and cooperation between geographically dispersed people This form of integration of human resources was not included in these models. A remarkable solution was presented in [30], which organizes the rapid human-in-the-loop cyber-physical systems process in the form of a framework, onea development of embedded human-in-the-loop cyber-physical systems process which in the allows form of to integrate further resources the design process. From the perspective of the matter discussed in this paper concerning prototyping on the basis of incremental methods, the analysis of solutions available on the market and scientific works shows that currently only systems integrating selected manufacturing and human elements are accessible, often in the environment of homogenous ownership or field structure. An example of their application was presented to create the iS Rapid system, which was used to develop and produce a prototype of a ventilator to fight epidemic outbreak effects
