IoT Integrated Assembly Line - a conceptual model development for car toys assembly line

Abstract

Lean manufacturing is a common methodology widely used by manufacturers around the world. The keys in order to apply lean manufacturing are efficiency and continuous improvement. Efficiency can be achieved towards the utilization of technology between shopfloor and supporting business layers occurs in a system. One of the technologies that can be used is IoT (Internet of Things) and Cloud Manufacturing (CMfg) in specific. This paper contains the concept design of IoT technologies that will be applied in a car toys assembly line. Technology such as RFID, Sensors, and Android-based cloud services will be included in the assembly line system design. RFID and sensors are used to capture a number of components & subassembly parts that occur in the assembly line and the data captured will be forwarded to the ERP Systems. Android-based cloud services are used to monitor and control the systems especially for the shop floor area.
