Industry 4.0 Trends and Smart Factories

Industry 4.0 Trends and Smart Factories

Modern industrial developments have continued for several hundred years, and three major industrial revolutions have emerged until today. Currently, we are in the fourth industrial revolution as Industry 4.0 trends and smart factories. In the first industrial revolution (1.0), industry was turning water to steam power. The second industrial revolution (2.0) occurred 30 years later when the first mass-production assembly line working by electricity was functional. In the late 1960s, the first programmable logistic controller (PLC) allowed factory automation via the use of electrical and IT systems, marking the beginning of the third industrial revolution (3.0). Industry 4.0 refers to the simultaneous maturation of many important technological advancements that may drastically alter the manufacturing industry's environment. As these technologies — advanced robots, artificial intelligence, sophisticated sensors, cloud computing, and big data analytics – connect with one another, the real and virtual worlds will merge and revolutionize the industrial business. It takes over production with robots that communicate with each other, detect the environment with sensors, and realize the needs by analyzing data and aims to produce better quality, cheaper, faster, and less wasteful production. In addition, it monitors physical processes with cyber-physical systems in modular smart factories, allowing objects to communicate with each other and people, and as a result, decentralized collaborative decisions are made.

From the first industrial revolution to the fourth industrial revolution: The world continues to develop with four revolutions in industry.And we know that in the transitions between these revolutions, innovations have taken their place along with previous technologies. The important milestones that emerged in the four industrial revolutions of the world, namely Industry 1.0 to 4.0, are explained below. - Application of Mechanical Production Facilities - Transition to Mass Production Based on Electricity and Division of Labor - Automation of Production Processes - Autonomous Machines and Virtual Environments The elements that started in 2000 are the triggers and infrastructure of Industry 4.0. In other words, they are the components of today's smart factories. Thus, companies now needed interdisciplinary work and the fourth industrial revolution. So that all objects communicate and interact over the internet, has emerged. Smart factories are the non-digital component of Industry 4.0 and are concretely visible and observable parts of society. Potentials of Industry 4.0 : Objectives of Industry 4.0 are to provide mass customization of products produced by information technologies, to ensure automatic and flexible adaptation of the production chain, to monitor parts and products, to facilitate communication between parts, products, and machines, to implement human-machine interaction (HMI) paradigms, to optimize production with the internet of things in smart factories, and in terms of value, it can be listed as offering new types of services and business models. Despite the growing complexity of the Industry 4.0 system, it also has the potential outlined below. - Increasing competition and flexibility arising from the dynamic nature of business processes (quality, time, risk, robustness, price, and environmental friendliness), - Eliminating malfunctions in the demand chain, - Optimizing decision making with real-time end-to-end visibility - Provide increased resource productivity(it produces the highest output from a given volume of resources). And efficiency (uses the lowest possible amount of resources to achieve a given output), - Creating value opportunities (innovative services, new forms of employment, development opportunities for SMEs and start-ups), - Reducing energy and personal costs. Industry 4.0 Trends : Industry 4.0 encompasses numerous technologies and associated paradigms. Some of these emerging paradigms are Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Enterprise Resource Planning, Internet of Things ( IoT ), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), artificial intelligence (AI), 3D printing, Cyber-Physical Systems, cloud-based manufacturing, smart factory, smart product, big data, etc. These features are not only highly correlated with internet technologies and advanced algorithms. But also indicate that it is a value-added information processing and industrial value-added process. In Industry 4.0, one of the important places where objects communicate with each other is the smart factories. They are equipped with intelligent technologies and are also called dark factories because there are no people to work with. The number of workers in China's first dark factory. And it produces mobile phone modules, decreased by 90%, while the rate of defective product formation dropped from 25% to 5%.

The impact of smart factories on this revolution:   Among the factors that triggered this revolution, and at the very center of the revolution that created the transformation in the manufacturing industry, are smart technologies and smart factories. This revolution, of course, affects and changes all service sectors and infrastructures, along with manufacturing. Smart Factories of Industry 4.0 include smart machines and systems that detect business needs with sensors, communicate with other remote production tools via the internet. Then extract the production information they need from Big Data in cloud systems. The communication and interaction of the means of production with each other are provided via the internet. All production resources (sensors, actuators, machines, robots, conveyors, etc.) do not only automatically exchange information, but also be conscious and smart enough to predict and maintain machines to control the production process and manage the factory system. In addition, many production processes such as product design, production planning, production engineering, production, and services can work modularly. Summary Industry 4.0 currently has a significant impact on the manufacturing industry and this impact will continue exponentially in the future. And many smart factories working with minimal people have already started production. It will enable us to achieve unprecedented levels of operational efficiency. And also allow us to accelerate our productivity by introducing new types of advanced manufacturing and industrial processes toward machine-human collaboration and symbiotic product realization in the future. In other words, the new level with digital transformation and Industry 4.0 will ensure that people, objects, and systems come with interconnection. Therefore, companies that want to increase their competitiveness in the future should apply this revolution to their production organizations. So that they should apply technologies such as smart robots, cyber-physical systems, and cloud-based manufacturing in their factories.   Read the full article

Internet of Thinks

What is IoT?

The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the network of physical objects—“things”—that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the internet. These devices range from ordinary household objects to sophisticated industrial tools. With more than 7 billion connected IoT devices today, experts are expecting this number to grow to 10 billion by 2020 and 22 billion by 2025. Oracle has a network of device partners.

  Why is Internet of Things (IoT) so important?  

Read More

Over the past few years, IoT has become one of the most important technologies of the 21st century. Now that we can connect everyday objects—kitchen appliances, cars, thermostats, baby monitors—to the internet via embedded devices, seamless communication is possible between people, processes, and things.

By means of low-cost computing, the cloud, big data, analytics, and mobile technologies, physical things can share and collect data with minimal human intervention. In this hyperconnected world, digital systems can record, monitor, and adjust each interaction between connected things. The physical world meets the digital world—and they cooperate.

What technologies have made IoT possible?

While the idea of IoT has been in existence for a long time, a collection of recent advances in a number of different technologies has made it practical.

·         Access to low-cost, low-power sensor technology. Affordable and reliable sensors are making IoT technology possible for more manufacturers.

·         Connectivity. A host of network protocols for the internet has made it easy to connect sensors to the cloud and to other “things” for efficient data transfer.

·         Cloud computing platforms. The increase in the availability of cloud platforms enables both businesses and consumers to access the infrastructure they need to scale up without actually having to manage it all.

·         Machine learning and analytics. With advances in machine learning and analytics, along with access to varied and vast amounts of data stored in the cloud, businesses can gather insights faster and more easily. The emergence of these allied technologies continues to push the boundaries of IoT and the data produced by IoT also feeds these technologies.

·         Conversational artificial intelligence (AI). Advances in neural networks have brought natural-language processing (NLP) to IoT devices (such as digital personal assistants Alexa, Cortana, and Siri) and made them appealing, affordable, and viable for home use.

What is industrial IoT?

Industrial IoT (IIoT) refers to the application of IoT technology in industrial settings, especially with respect to instrumentation and control of sensors and devices that engage cloud technologies. Refer to thisTitan use case PDF for a good example of IIoT. Recently, industries have used machine-to-machine communication (M2M) to achieve wireless automation and control. But with the emergence of cloud and allied technologies (such as analytics and machine learning), industries can achieve a new automation layer and with it create new revenue and business models. IIoT is sometimes called the fourth wave of the industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0. The following are some common uses for IIoT:

·         Smart manufacturing

·         Connected assets and preventive and predictive maintenance

·         Smart power grids

·         Smart cities

·         Connected logistics

·         Smart digital supply chains

  What are IoT applications?

Business-ready, SaaS IoT Applications

IoT Intelligent Applications are prebuilt software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications that can analyze and present captured IoT sensor data to business users via dashboards. We have a full set of IoT Intelligent Applications.

IoT applications use machine learning algorithms to analyze massive amounts of connected sensor data in the cloud. Using real-time IoT dashboards and alerts, you gain visibility into key performance indicators, statistics for mean time between failures, and other information. Machine learning–based algorithms can identify equipment anomalies and send alerts to users and even trigger automated fixes or proactive counter measures.

With cloud-based IoT applications, business users can quickly enhance existing processes for supply chains, customer service, human resources, and financial services. There’s no need to recreate entire business processes.

What are some ways IoT applications are deployed?

The ability of IoT to provide sensor information as well as enable device-to-device communication is driving a broad set of applications. The following are some of the most popular applications and what they do.

Create new efficiencies in 

manufacturing

 through machine monitoring and product-quality monitoring.

Machines can be continuously monitored and analyzed to make sure they are performing within required tolerances. Products can also be monitored in real time to identify and address quality defects.

Improve the tracking and “ring-fencing” of physical assets.

Tracking enables businesses to quickly determine asset location. Ring-fencing allows them to make sure that high-value assets are protected from theft and removal.

Use wearables to monitor human health analytics and environmental conditions.

IoT wearables enable people to better understand their own health and allow physicians to remotely monitor patients. This technology also enables companies to track the health and safety of their employees, which is especially useful for workers employed in hazardous conditions.

Drive efficiencies and new possibilities in existing processes.

One example of this is the use of IoT to increase efficiency and safety in connected logistics for fleet management. Companies can use IoT fleet monitoring to direct trucks, in real time, to improve efficiency.

Enable business process changes.

An example of this is the use of IoT devices for connected assets to monitor the health of remote machines and trigger service calls for preventive maintenance. The ability to remotely monitor machines is also enabling new product-as-a-service business models, where customers no longer need to buy a product but instead pay for its usage.

"The Internet of Things is not as new as we would like to believe, either. The term was coined in 1999, and companies such as Echelon have been offering networked automation systems as far back as the early 90s. In the last couple of years, IoT has exploded as the next big wave, following the wave of mobile apps."

"To achieve even a fraction of its potential, the IoT will need to be built the same way the Internet was built. The billions of devices connecting to our Internet should evolve the way the Internet evolved.

Right now, that isn’t the case. Most devices are closed to any software written by their owners or third parties:"

"The device owners are dependent on the manufacturers for everything, including permission to connect devices they purchased to other devices they own."

"This situation isn’t so different from the early web. There was a time when websites only worked with one web browser."

via @bryanrieger "On the current lack of standards, interoperability + user control of IoT … much like the early Internet"

WHAT IS INTERNET of THINGS ( IoT) | Learn More About It

You might be reading this blog on mobile, tablet or a desktop. Right? But one thing is common, that all these devices are connected to the internet.

MEANING OF IoT Internet is a wonderful thing, which gives us many sorts of benefits that were just not possible earlier. Earlier through a phone you could only call or text, but now you can watch movies, play games, read a book etc on the phone. All these things are possible just because of internet. In short, earlier there was cell phone but now it has become smart phone.  

Internet of Things (IoT), in simple terms is an ecosystem of digital devices that are connected and can be accessed through internet. The ‘Thing’ in IoT could be anything, like a person with heart monitor or an automobile with built in sensors. Simply, it means devices or objects that have been assigned an IP address and has the capability to transfer data through a network without any manual help or without any human intervention. The installed technology in the devices helps it to interact with inside situation or the outside environment which ultimately affects the decision taken.
