Smart factory in Industry 4.0

Abstract

The transformation from traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing intrigues the profound and lasting effect on the future manufacturing worldwide. Industry 4.0 was proposed for advancing manufacturing to realize short product life cycles and extreme mass customization in a cost‐efficient way. As the heart of Industry 4.0, smart factory integrates physical technologies and cyber technologies and makes the involved technologies more complex and precise in order to improve performance, quality, controllability, management, and transparency of manufacturing processes. So far, leading manufacturers have begun the journey toward implementing smart factory. However, most firms still lack insight into the challenges and resources for implementing smart factory. As such, this paper identifies the requirements and key challenges, investigates available new technologies, reviews existing studies that have been done for smart factory, and further provides guidance for manufacturers to implementing smart factory in the context of Industry 4.0.

Towards Supply Chain Visibility Using Internet of Things: A Dyadic Analysis Review

“…Ardito et al [15] focused on Industry 4.0 from the marketing integration perspective, with no particular attention to more extensive applications beyond the marketing viewpoint. Ali et al [15] and Aryal et al [16] paid attention to the digital SCs with advantages and disadvantages from theoretical and industrial perspectives. However, the impact of IoT on the SCV context is missing in this study.…”

“…Industry 4.0 has opened a new horizon, where technology-oriented manufacturing approaches, computer-integrated manufacturing, lean management, and cellular manufacturing, enabled by the cyber-physical systems (CPSs), have changed the vision of industrial production [12][13][14]. According to Ardito et al [15], CPSs consist of digital integrations of computers and networks with physical processes, which create intelligent systems that enable the provision of immediate answers to product modifications and failures along the industrial production chain [8,16]. In SCs, Industry 4.0 has become one of the vital factors that can improve industrial performance in the market [17,18].…”

Predictive Maintenance and Intelligent Sensors in Smart Factory: Review

“…All elements of the intelligent factory are interconnected, exchanging information, and recognising and evaluating situations. Thus, physical and cyber technology is integrated, which results in improved controllability, control, transparency of production processes, maximises value for the customer, and in addition, there is communication between the factory and the market itself [ 39 , 40 ]. The core technologies of Industry 4.0 include IoT, cloud computing, and high-volume data analysis.…”

Key Performance Indicators as a Tool for Production Process Assessment – Part II: Industrial Research

“…Doskonale wpisuje się w potrzeby koncepcji Przemysłu 4.0, ale także umożliwia włączenie elementów znanych już z koncepcji Przemysłu 5.0, np. przez wykorzystanie narzędzi kognitywnych, takich jak aktywne rozpoznawanie otoczenia, interpretowanie mowy, odkrywanie preferencji użytkowników, przewidywanie uszkodzeń [15]. Ze względu na generyczny charakter przedstawionego rozwiązania, przyjęte założenia bazujące na standardzie ISO oraz modułową konstrukcję, narzędzie PUPMT potencjalnie może być stosowane w wielu problemach optymalizacji nierozważanych w pracy.…”
