“…Different models lead to totally different characteristics of the design-manufacturing system, including the product and its design lead times, technologies, organizational systems and IT tools used in each process. Ding et al [20] summarize the steps of customized furniture production processes in terms of research and development (R&D) as the first step, sales (business contracting), participatory design, production, and delivery and installation at the customers' facilities.…”

“…Custom furniture companies go through a longer and more complex process, including R&D, sales, participatory design, production, delivery and installation. There are several challenges throughout this process, such as handling non-standard orders, manufacturing with high precision, managing large amounts of data and requiring higher levels of computerization [20]. Processing large amounts of information during the product development process is required because activities in the process interact and are influenced by all areas of the organization [33].…”

Production is becoming more customer-focused as it departs from delivering standardized mass products to market segments, and the emerging Industry 4.0 technologies render this much easier than before. These technologies enable two-way information exchange with customers throughout all the steps of product development, particularly in terms of tailor-made products. This study aims at presenting proposals of implementing Industry 4.0 technologies into the process of tailored products, where the product is customized for the customer from the start and where adjustments are also made at the manufacturing stage. The study also aims to build a concept of intensification of customer contact and to improve the process flow by applying Industry 4.0 technologies. The study's subject is tailor-made furniture production, with individually designed products that are manufactured and installed at a customer's facilities. The company in the study operates on a small scale. The study employs a case study methodology that shows how the process can be improved in terms of real-time effective customer contact and process flow. The huge potential of 3D visualization as well as augmented and virtual reality technologies are also demonstrated. The study concludes with several directions for further development of existing technology solutions.

“…In China, a reform furniture industry with advanced manufacturing technologies was proposed by the government in 2002 [9,10]. Since then, a system of intelligent furniture technologies was gradually created [11][12][13], including design principles, steps and theoretical framework of intelligent furniture [14]. Meanwhile, with the emergence of Industry 4.0 in 2013, the key technologies in digital quality control and production in intelligent furniture manufacturing have become the research hotspots [15][16][17].…”

The IoT maximizes the information and intelligence of large-scale producers, and greatly improves the supervision quality and efficiency of production lines. Existing research fails to use modern logistics simulation for distributed simulation, verification and analysis of industrial automated production line management (IAPLM). Thus, this paper studies the distributed simulation of IoT-based IAPLM. The time domain, component information and other elements are introduced into the distributed Petri network model to realize the optimization of the logic model of the industrial automation production line. The key points of distributed simulation design of IAPLM are introduced in detail, and the timing design of the production process, the mapping of logical model to distributed simulation platform, the structured processing of models, and the construction of simulation strategies for production equipment control are completed. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed model.
