The volatile condition of today's market is forcing the manufacturing managers to adapt flexible systems (FMS) meet challenges imposed by international competition, ever changing customer demands, rapid delivery and advancement in technology. There are certain enablers, which help implementation FMS or transition process from traditional FMS. utmost need analyse behaviour these enablers for their effective utilization main objective this paper understand mutual interaction identify 'driving...

Purpose The study aims to analyze the barriers in adoption of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) practices terms prioritization, cluster formation and clustering empirical responses, then narrowing them with identification most influential for further managerial implications I4.0 by developing an enhanced understanding I4.0. Design/methodology/approach For survey-based research, I.40 are synthesized from review relevant literature discussions academician industry persons. Three widely acclaimed statistical...

Low cost manufacturing of quality products remains an essential part present economy and technological advances made it possible.Advances amalgamation information technology bring the production systems at newer level.Industry 4.0, factory for future, smart factory, digital manufacturing, industrial automation are new buzz words industry stalwarts academicians.These revolutions bound to change not only complete scenarios but many other sectors society.In this paper attempt has been capture...

Manufacturing industries use cutting fluid in huge quantities. It has been reported multiple times that these conventional fluids are toxic and not safe for humans the environment. Vegetable oils a good alternative to fluids. Non-edible should be explored their applicability as fluid. In this research, water-soluble formulated from non-edible – Castor oil Karanja food-grade surfactants preparing totally green using two mixture. The performance of developed is compared with machining steel an...

Aluminium metal matrix composites (AMMCs) are the fastest growing (MMCs) for applications in several fields i.e.; automobile, aerospace and structural. The properties of these depend upon reinforcement their fabrication methods. This study focused on accumulation ceramic reinforcement, silicon nitride (Si3N4) to aluminium (Al) different weight proportions. Further, significant methods developing materials effect various Al-Si3N4 have also been reviewed. microstructural indicate more uniform...

This paper presents a four-fingered robotic hand, designed to carry out grasping operations along with different object manipulation tasks. The design of this hand resembles human which is the perfect dexterous gripper. In paper, forward kinematics carried using Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H) parameters, calculate position and orientation each fingertips. Inverse formulated compute joint angles for fingertip configurations. Kinematic simulations are realised estimate workspace four finger MATLAB...

Healthcare 4.0 (H4.0) is the term corresponding to Industry (I4.0). Like other industries, healthcare industry has also gone through several technological changes and got nourished with them. The health care system of many countries not mature enough swiftly transform from its current state H4.0 state. Even matured systems are facing challenges while adopting practices. implementation (or barriers) be overcome. This paper attempted understand analyze that Indian hospital management faces...

In the present era of technological advancement and rapid change, mankind faces different kinds challenges. The product lifecycle has been shortened dramatically, manufacturing industry is moving from mass production to high personalization products. This widely known as fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0 (I4.0). It seems that soon it will be inevitable for every society. paper briefly focuses on empirical insights into impact I4.0 various sectors traditional approaches...
