In the current manufacturing world, role of maintenance has been receiving increasingly more attention while companies understand that maintenance, when well performed, can be a strategic factor to achieve corporate goals. The latest trends leans towards predictive approach, exemplified by Prognosis and Health Management (PHM) Condition-based Maintenance (CBM) techniques. implementation such approaches demands structured architecture boosted through use emergent ICT technologies, namely...
The digital transformation that is on-going worldwide, and triggered by the Industry 4.0 initiative, has brought to surface new concepts emergent technologies. One of these Digital Twin, which recently started gaining momentum, related creating a virtual copy physical system, providing connection between real systems collect analyze simulate data in model improve performance system. benefits using twin approach attracting significant attention interest from research industry communities last...
Nowadays, many organizations intend to convert their existing production systems towards ones that are terized by adaptability, openness, flexibility and modularity. This requires a redesign of information processing especially related control, leading possibly cyber-physical (CPPS). However, the implementation new control technologies will have direct impact on normal operational status while engineers also face several challenges obstacles in adopting intelligent automation systems. New...
The digital transformation in the manufacturing world raised an additional interest data collection and connectivity, preferably to one performed real time. Internet of Things (IoT) Machine (M2M) technologies allow huge amount generated shop floor, at desired rates without any human intervention. This paper describes application IoT create automatic solution for industrial metal stamping unit, supporting its posterior processing, aiming develop monitoring, prediction optimization intelligent...
Industries are becoming more and digitized to better implement intelligent predictive maintenance support systems, aligned with Industry 4.0, which requires the progressive digitization of data collection processes. Maintenance interventions, in an evolving technological context, increasingly complex difficult for technicians perform. In these environments, use Augmented Reality (AR) help assist guide operations, can accomplish a considerable gain productivity. AR allows superimpose...
Digitalization is transforming the worldwide economy. In such digital transformation human integration in CPS assumes a crucial importance, complemented with some key enabling technologies like IoT, cloud computing, big data and machine learning. this context, user interfaces are used to collect monitor control systems, being required use design ergonomics guidelines, as well expirience, for their deployment industrial enviroments. This paper describes of friendly ergonomic support at...
Presently, many industries are facing strong challenges related to the demand of customized and high-quality products. These pressures lead internal company's conflicts where current production systems have a rigid structure, forcing company into organization stall when fast product change is required. Therefore, need smoothly migrate traditional more feature-rich cost-effective systems, namely Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS), became highly discussed topic. PERFoRM project focuses...
The fourth industrial revolution, commonly known as Industry 4.0, germinated in Germany an program of the government to reinvigorate manufacturing sector. Nowadays, this change paradigm has reached a global scale and is proposing transform traditional factories into more competitive, efficient productive industries. In order accomplish goal it necessary establish methodologies migrate from systems innovative systems, namely those applying Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) concepts....
