Abstract
Today, a new era of manufacturing innovation is introduced as Smart Manufacturing Systems (SMS) or Industry 4.0. Many studies have discussed the different characteristics and technologies associated with SMS, however, little attention has been devoted to study the development process when establishing new SMS. The study’s objective is to propose a development framework that increases the adoption and awareness of Industry 4.0 among manufacturers and aids decision-makers in designing better SMS capabilities. The framework consists of three phases, iterative process of application modelling; evaluation to ensure optimal configuration and adoption; and finally implementation. The proposed framework is hoped to assist the industries’ management in planning for the adoption of technology, in establishing SMS or assessing the need in existing ones. Indirectly, more industry will gain the benefits as a support for their initiatives to transform into Industry 4.0.
Highlights
Smart Manufacturing Systems (SMS) refers to communication and computing technologies that enable all manufacturing system’s components to be digitally connected and data analytics-driven, achieving intelligent coordination
The evaluation phase consists of Simulation Model that includes Computer-based Simulation and Discrete Event Simulation (DES); the implementation of the Smart Manufacturing System
The study of development framework in establishing new SMS is crucial for pre-implementation assessment that leads to minimized operational cost and time, as well as efficient machine’s utilization
Summary
Smart Manufacturing Systems (SMS) refers to communication and computing technologies that enable all manufacturing system’s components to be digitally connected and data analytics-driven, achieving intelligent coordination. It comes with several significant benefits such as cost reduction, higher productivity, resources efficiency, product customization, and minimizes negative environmental impacts. Government investments by industrialized nations and developing countries in smart manufacturing adoption that significantly increased for the last few years contributes the growth of SMS.
