Abstract
Technology changes present a constant drive for evolvement in the manufacturing industry. This development has brought about a complete change in the way the industry implements technologies. The complexity of state-of-the-art technologies is on the increase as new and unforeseen perils continue to emerge. One of the main challenges being faced is the adaptation of manufacturing systems to the latest safety and security considerations. The research hypothesis being investigated is that a logically structured procedure incorporating safety and security would be able to assist in designing an ergonomic and collaborative manufacturing system while identifying and analysing risks, eventually establishing feasible solutions for these specific burdens. This paper therefore contributes a methodology which was developed to address issues of safety and security in the design and implementation of cyber-physical production systems in collaborative environments.
Highlights
Industrial control systems (ICS) are traditionally designed to conform with the latest safety and security advances at that time
The methodology developed in this can study, whichcan be seen in Figure 3, has been named Safety Embedded Modular Function Deployment (MFD) 4.0, a portmanteau of Safety 4.0 and Modular Function Deployment 4.0
The MFD is being adapted for the development of modular cyber-physical manufacturing systems, Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) in Industry 4.0
Summary
Industrial control systems (ICS) are traditionally designed to conform with the latest safety and security advances at that time. This implies that the environment in which the standalone system is running would not compromise on the health and safety of the personal operating it. Colla– borative robots represent a natural progression that can solve existing challenges in the manufacturing industry as they help in achieving anincreased productivity while decreasing the production costs. The methodology developed in this can study, whichcan be seen, has been named Safety Embedded Modular Function Deployment (MFD) 4.0, a portmanteau of Safety 4.0 and Modular Function Deployment 4.0 This method is based upon two previously well-established methodologies. The aim of the Safety 4.0 methodology was to implement safety as part of a brown field project, where the design of the system was already previously determined and the CPPS was already implemented and operational
