“…The first step in brownfield development is enhancing the data acquisition from dated equipment that often has varying degrees of instrumentation and automation and can be categorized by deploying the additional sensors in the first level of the IoT reference model. Legacy machines lack ways to monitor their processing parameters [22]; fortunately, sensor technologies nowadays are well-advanced for that purpose [53]. In many cases, additional actuators are added to enhance the automation at the field level and replace the human manipulation [54].…”

The ongoing Industry 4.0 is characterized by the connectivity between components in the manufacturing system. For modern machines, the Internet of Things is a built-in function. In contrast, there are legacy machines in deployment functioning without digital communication. The need to connect them became popular to improve overall production efficiency. As building a new smart factory as a greenfield investment is a capital-intensive choice, retrofitting the existing infrastructure with IoT capability is more reasonable than replacing them. However, this so-called brownfield development, or retrofitting, requires specific prerequisites, e.g., digitization status assessment, technical and connectivity development, management requirement, and operational need, representing a significant disadvantage: lack of scalability. In the meantime, Industry 5.0 is under human-centric priority, which poses new challenges to the retrofitted system. Aware of the challenge, this paper provides a systematic overview of brownfield development regarding technical difficulties, supporting technologies, and possible applications for the legacy system. The research scope focuses on available Industry 4.0 advancements but considers preparing for the forthcoming Industry 5.0. The proposed retrofitting project approach can be a guideline for manufacturers to transform their factories into intelligent spaces with minimal cost and effort but still gain the most applicable solution for management needs. The future direction for other research in brownfield development for Industry 5.0 is also discussed.

Laser direct structuring is critical in the integration of circuits onto 3D‐shaped plastic parts, such as antennas and RF components. Laser direct structuring process encompasses three stages: deposition of 3D parts, laser structuring, and metallization. While laser direct structurable parts have been manufactured through plastic injection molding, material extrusion is a favored additive manufacturing process for economic low‐volume production and fast prototyping advantages. Although injection‐molded laser direct structuring literature is available, 3D printed laser direct structured components merit further investigation. This study focuses on material extrusion of catalyst‐loaded polycarbonate parts and its laser direct structuring process. Parameters from the nanosecond fiber laser, including scan speed, power, and frequency, were thoroughly analyzed to understand the surface property changes and metallization performance of the printed polycarbonate parts. The single scan track width corresponds to the accuracy of conductive path width and metallization thickness, was employed to elucidate the findings. A process map was built to keep the track width constant aimed at enhancing the uniform metallization of intricate components. Thresholds were established, identifying a minimum track width of 22.1 µm and metallization thickness of 2.5 µm. These delineate clusters of process parameters that yield conductivity levels suitable for various applications.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
