Systems engineering approach to designing smart condition monitoring systems for smart manufacturing (ICCAS 2016)

Abstract

Condition monitoring systems conduct important roles in manufacturing process lines by monitoring condition status of machines to prevent accident faults of them. Those systems need to be improved in their functionalities by adapting more intellectual, self-reconfigurable, and self-decisional mechanisms for supporting smart manufacturing operations. Whereas, many enterprises in manufacturing industry have in trouble with well-designing these smart condition monitoring systems for fitting their own purpose in their specific domains. In this paper, we propose a systems engineering approach to designing smart condition monitoring systems. The systems engineering is powerful methodology to design complex systems in many multi-disciplinary domains, so we have tailored the systems engineering processes for designing the system architecture of our system-of-interest (i.e. smart condition monitoring systems). The deliverables of this research work can contribute to provide a technical solution for well-designing other smart manufacturing systems in several industrial domains. In the end, our research works can resolve the market domains such as high-productivity and production of high-quality products in manufacturing process lines.
