Smart manufacturing is a recent

concept in the arena of
manufacturing. As per this concept,
manufacturing systems are completely
integrated and collaborated in a way as
to respond in real time
to fulfil changing conditions and
demands in the supply network, in
the factory, and in customer

firms are trying to adopt the
practices of industry 4.0 during
their entire supply chain. Smart
manufacturing is about enhancing our
manufacturing processes to do
more with less, fast and better! And the
industrial analytics and Industrial

Smart manufacturing has been an interesting topic in recent years due to the continuous development
of Industry 4.0. The fourth industrial revolution forced sectors to move from conventional
manufacturing to fully automated and flexible one. A smart manufacturing system captures the
network of the whole system and allows it to communicate fully. Smart manufacturing (SM) is the
collaboration of physical and digital processes within industries. In smart manufacturing, emerging
and advanced technologies are used to enhance the efficiency of conventional manufacturing
processes. SM aims to find opportunities for automation and enhance manufacturing performance
using data analytics. As technology continues to advance, smart manufacturing systems are expected
to become even more advanced and transformative, changing the way products are manufactured and
delivered.
A smart manufacturing system (SMS) is a highly advanced and interconnected system that uses
technologies to automate and optimize manufacturing processes. The smart manufacturing system is
efficient, event-driven, and information-driven, with technology-based solutions. It responds in real-
time to fulfill customer needs and changing demands. It is designed to improve efficiency,
productivity, and quality while reducing waste and costs. Therefore, industries need to play an
essential role in integrating all aspects, including lean manufacturing, using facilities efficiently,
enhancing their relationships with stakeholders, and ensuring industrial progress to enable a smart
manufacturing implementation system (SMIS). SMIS integrates and maintains the firm’s activities to
achieve a collaborative environment. SMS helps to enhance manufacturing productivity,
sustainability, quality, and agility through advanced technologies. Therefore, assessing SMIS under
SMS is essential for industries. Previous studies proposed different assessment frameworks to
investigate SMIS performance. Some studies used SMIS factors to implement them in the
automotive industry. However, performance attributes require evaluation and judgment for the
system under consideration.
The manufacturing industry is facing a period of intense competition and rapid technological
advancements. Traditional production methods are increasingly challenged by:-Rising Costs: Global
competition and material price fluctuations are putting pressure on manufacturing costs. Increased
Demand for Customization: Consumers are demanding more personalized products, requiring greater
flexibility in production processes. Shorter Product lifecycles: Technology advancements are leading
to faster product innovation and shorter product lifecycles. Focus on Sustainability: Environmental

15
regulations and customer expectations are driving the need for more sustainable manufacturing
practices.
Smart manufacturing is a recent concept in the arena of manufacturing. As per this
concept, manufacturing systems are completely integrated and collaborated in a way as to respond in
real time to fulfil changing conditions and demands in the supply network, in the factory, and
in customer requirements. Several manufacturing firms are trying to adopt the practices of
industry 4.0 during their entire supply chain. Smart manufacturing is about enhancing our
manufacturing processes to do more with less, fast and better! And the industrial analytics and
Industrial Internet of Things will play main part in facilitating it. According to Lee et al. (2014),
this improvement in productivity and efficiency allows the customization of items designed with a
view to mass production.

Thus, all manufacturing companies, whether already modernized or in the process of

modernization, are potential customers for companies wishing to improve manufacturing production
processes. These belong to nine sub-sectors that are interrelated. Indeed, according to Brettell et
al.,the success of Industry 4.0 rests on the coordination of these different sub-sectors such as robotics
and automation; advanced simulation software; horizontal and vertical integration systems; cyber
security; the Internet of Things; cloud (cloud); 3D printing (additive manufacturing); big data
analysis and augmented reality.
Recently, the emerging technologies (e.g., Internet of Things (IoT), wireless sensor networks, big
data , cloud computing, embedded system, and mobile Internet) are being introduced into the
manufacturing environment, which ushers in a fourth industrial revolution. Consequently, a strategic
initiative called “Industry 4.0” was proposed and was adopted as part of the “High-Tech Strategy
2020 Action Plan” of the German government. The similar strategies were also proposed by other
main industrial countries, for example, “Industrial Internet” from USA and “Internet +” from China.
The Industry 4.0 describes a production oriented Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) that integrate
production facilities, warehousing systems, logistics, and even social requirements to establish the
global value creation networks.
In order to preferably implement Industry 4.0, the following three key features should be considered:
(1) horizontal integration through value networks, (2) vertical integration and networked
manufacturing systems, and (3) end-to-end digital integration of engineering across the entire value
chain. The setting for vertical integration is the factory, so the vertical integration means
implementing the smart factory that is highly flexible and reconfigurable. Therefore, the smart
factory is believed to be able to produce customized and small-lot products efficiently and profitably.
Prior to the smart manufacturing of Industry 4.0, many other advanced manufacturing schemes have
already been proposed to overcome the drawbacks of the traditional production lines, for example,
the flexible manufacturing and the agile manufacturing. Among these schemes, the multiagent
system (MAS) is the most representative. The manufacturing resources are defined as intelligent
agents that negotiate with each other to implement dynamical reconfiguration to achieve flexibility.
However, it is difficult for the MAS to handle the complexity of manufacturing system, so it still
lacks a generally accepted MAS implementation. In our view, the cloud-assisted industrial wireless
network (IWN) can suitably support the smart factory by implementing IoT and services. By this
means, the smart artifacts can communicate and negotiate with each other through the IWN to
implement self-organization, and the massive data can be uploaded to and processed by the cloud
16
that has scalable storage space and powerful computing ability to implement system-wide
coordination.
Therefore, both a robotics company and a cyber-security solution company can participate in
the modernization of a manufacturing company in the context of Industry 4.0. Similarly, since these
nine sub-sectors are complementary, companies wishing to modernize must invest in each of them.
This paper aims to examine how manufacturing firms or companies can employ Industry 4.0 smart
manufacturing to ensure faster production with more precision and lesser human manipulation. The
paper will also justify the implementation of smart manufacturing by means of examples
from manufacturing industry leaders such as Siemens AG, General Electric, Renault,
Secombe, etc. Keeping in view how the Internet is revolutionizing the world of business, these
companies have also adopted Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing measures in all of their
business operations and are currently the major providers of Industry 4.0 solutions in the
manufacturing sector.
1.2 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The significance of a study on smart manufacturing implementation plan lies in its potential to
address critical challenges and unlock opportunities for manufacturing industries. Here are several
points highlighting the significance of such a study. Smart manufacturing technologies have the
potential to improve operational efficiency, reduce production costs, and enhance product quality. By
implementing an effective smart manufacturing plan, companies can strengthen their
competitiveness in the global marketplace. The adoption of smart manufacturing practices can
stimulate economic growth by fostering innovation, attracting investment, and creating new job
opportunities. A well-executed implementation plan can contribute to the growth and sustainability
of the manufacturing sector. In today's dynamic market environment, customers increasingly expect
customized products, shorter lead times, and higher levels of service. Smart manufacturing enables
companies to meet these demands by enabling agile and responsive production processes. Smart
manufacturing technologies help optimize resource utilization by minimizing waste, reducing energy
consumption, and maximizing asset efficiency. This contributes to environmental sustainability and
cost savings for manufacturing companies. Smart manufacturing generates vast amounts of data from
various sources, including sensors, machines, and production systems. By harnessing this data
through advanced analytics and visualization tools, companies can make informed, data-driven
decisions to improve productivity and performance. Implementing smart manufacturing solutions
can help mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with production processes, supply chain
disruptions, and market fluctuations. Real-time monitoring and predictive analytics enable
companies to proactively identify and address potential issues. Smart manufacturing is a cornerstone
of the Industry 4.0 paradigm, which emphasizes the integration of digital technologies into
manufacturing processes. A study on smart manufacturing implementation contributes to the broader
transformation of the manufacturing industry towards Industry 4.0.

1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

 To evaluate the existing manufacturing processes, technologies, and systems to identify

inefficiencies and areas for improvement.
17
  To develop a comprehensive implementation roadmap outlining the sequence of activities,
timelines, resource requirements, and dependencies for deploying smart manufacturing
solutions.
 To investigate the organizational readiness for smart manufacturing implementation,
including the current culture, workforce skills, and leadership support.

Thus, all manufacturing companies,

whether already modernized or in
the process of
modernization, are potential customers
for companies wishing to improve
manufacturing production
processes. These belong to nine sub-
sectors that are interrelated. Indeed,
according to Brettel et al.,
the success of Industry 4.0 rests on the
coordination of these different sub-
sectors such as robotics and
automation; advanced simulation
software; horizontal and vertical
integration systems; cyber security;

18
the Internet of Things; cloud (cloud);
3D printing (additive manufacturing);
big data analysis and
augmented reality[ CITATION Bre14 \
l 1033 ]. Therefore, both a robotics
company and a cyber-
security solution company can
participate in the modernization of a
manufacturing company in the
context of Industry 4.0. Similarly, since
these nine sub-sectors are
complementary, companies wishing
to modernize must invest in each of
them.
This paper aims to examine how
manufacturing firms or companies can
employ Industry 4.0 smart
manufacturing to ensure faster
production with more precision and
lesser human manipulation. The
19
paper will also justify the
implementation of smart
manufacturing by means of examples
from
manufacturing industry leaders such
as Siemens AG, General Electric,
Renault, Secomea, etc.
Keeping in view how the Internet is
revolutionizing the world of business,
these companies have also
adopted Industry 4.0 smart
manufacturing measures in all of
their business operations and are
currently the major providers of
Industry 4.0 solutions in the
manufacturing sector
CHAPTER-2
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Different studies have been performed to propose the frameworks for SMS, and many
researchers have contributed to evaluating the critical factors using the fuzzy decision-making trial
and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) technique. Muhammad Zeeshan et al. reviewed the critical
factors of radio frequency identification (RFID) and bar codes for smart manufacturing sectors. They
proposed a framework with three different contexts, such as technology, organization, and
20
environment. Both technologies are implemented in manufacturing domains like production
planning, inventory management, and lean manufacturing. The limitation considered in this study
was the high initial capital cost of implementing RFID. Felix Ocker et al. developed a framework for
smart factories with different terminological components of production ontologies. It helps the
engineers support the system, ensure interdependencies, and enable better communication in smart
manufacturing systems. Further improvement was required for this to minimize development times
and facilitate the bonding of production resources across countries and vendors.
Soojeen Jang et al. described the importance of smart manufacturing systems’ maturity level for
small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through contingency theory and a resource-based view. The
research entailed a survey of 163 manufacturing SMEs in Korea. It was concluded that the maturity
level of smart manufacturing systems directly relates to operational efficiency and financial
performance when considering SMEs. The proposed scheme was limited to one country, Korea, but
it could be extended to different countries. G. Citybabu et al .reviewed the work related to lean six
sigma for one decade and developed a smart manufacturing framework based on different aspects
such as the type of author profile, year of publication, type of industry, and type of methodology for
the work. It benefited the researchers working in the respective fields to capture valuable knowledge
for better quality and productivity.
Ravindra Ojha used the DEMATEL approach to identify the prominent factors for lean
manufacturing in a technology-driven industry. A total of 18 factors were selected, and after
analysis, it was concluded that two factors were crucial: significant data acquisition and analysis and
technology-driven talent. This study was also helpful for assessing smart industries’ threats to
sustainability. Jamshid Afshani et al. proposed an approach to combine the fuzzy DEMATEL and
fuzzy analytical network process (ANP) to describe the interdependence and weight of each activity.
This work had a few limitations, like activity charts being introduced in non-fuzzy formats, which is
why a new model is needed that could prioritize the factors without redesigning the activity model.
Shikang Chen et al. proposed an assessment framework to describe the applicability of one of
the emerging technologies of smart manufacturing called blockchain while considering product
lifecycle management. Essential features of blockchain were discussed, and they also addressed the
technical and non-technical challenges of product lifecycle management in data management by
implementing blockchain. A case study is needed to verify and demonstrate the prescribed
mechanism.
Honey Yadav et al. used the fuzzy DEMATEL technique to examine the barriers to adopting e-
commerce technology for small and medium enterprises. In this research, the interdependence
relationship among factors and the sensitivity analysis of the system were also discussed. The
proposed work can be extended to other fields like electronics, the oil and gas sector, logistics, and
supply chain management with more decision-makers and different hybrid decision-making models
to get the required results.
Product development plays a crucial role in industrial progress. In conventional product
development, physical validation is used to confirm the design scheme before manufacturing.
However, physical validation is inefficient and costly, which hinders rapid product development.
This issue was removed by Sihan Huang et al. by proposing the framework for the digital twin in the
context of smart manufacturing. A case study was also discussed to implement the prescribed
framework and accelerate product development.
21
 A.G. Hamzehkolaei et al. used fuzzy DEMATEL to analyze the causal relationship between the
sustainable smart city dimension. Results showed that policy factors affect all other factors and are
influenced by all other factors, excluding environmental factors. The proposed approach can be
applied to various smart city environments.
Paul Grefen et al. developed the framework as a reference architecture model for industry 4.0
(RAMI 4.0) with three-dimensional layers having hierarchy levels, lifecycle chains, and value
streams to elaborate smart manufacturing based on their research for two decades. It helped to
connect processes from the shop floor to manufacturing equipment and enterprise-level businesses
for smart factories .used the fuzzy DEMATEL approach to identify the critical factors and cause-
effect relationships for manufacturing strategy outputs. The decisive factors included the number of
advanced features, cost per unit produced, and customer satisfaction. This study enabled the adoption
of smart manufacturing to promote Industry 4.0.
Qing Chai et al. determined the critical success factors that affect implementing a safety
program to regenerate abandoned industrial building (RAIB) projects in China. The fuzzy
DEMATEL approach is used to identify the interdependence and cause-and-effect relationships
among factors. This study guided stakeholders and managers to improve industrial building projects’
safety measures and sustainability goals. Other countries have further development levels and stages
of RAIB projects, and this study is limited to China.

CHAPTER-3
3. CONCEPTUAL/FRAMEWORK ANALYSIS
3.1 INTRODUCTION OF SMART MANUFATURING SYSTEMS
Information and communication technology (ICT) is currently undergoing rapid development.
Many disruptive technologies, such as cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics,
and artificial intelligence, have emerged. These technologies are permeating the manufacturing
industry and make it smart and capable of addressing current challenges, such as increasingly
22
customized requirements, improved quality, and reduced time to market. An increasing number of
sensors are being used in equipment (e.g., machine tools) to enable these equipment to self-sense,
self-act, and communicate with one another. Through these technologies, real time production data
can be obtained and shared to facilitate rapid and accurate decision making. The connection of
physical manufacturing equipment and devices over the Internet together with big data analytics in
the digital world (e.g., the cloud) has resulted in the emergence of a revolutionary means of
production, namely, cyber-physical production systems (CPPSs). CPPSs are a materialization of the
general concept cyber physical systems (CPS) in the manufacturing environment. The
interconnection and interoperability of CPS entities in manufacturing shop floors together with
analytics and knowledge learning methodology provide an intelligent decision support system . The
widespread application of CPS (or CPPS) has ushered in the fourth stage of industrial production,
namely, Industry 4.0 . Industry 4.0 has elicited much interest from the industry and academe . A
recent literature survey identified the basic concept, perspectives, key technologies, and industrial
applications of Industry 4.0 and examined its challenges and future research trends . However, no
work has established a systematic framework of smart manufacturing systems for Industry 4.0 that
can guide academic research and industrial implementation. Motivated by this situation, this study
proposes a conceptual framework for Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing systems. The framework
covers a wide range of topics, including smart design, smart machining, smart monitoring, smart
control, smart scheduling, and industrial implementation. A number of demonstrative scenarios are
presented, and current challenges and future research directions are discussed. Although extensive
effort continues to be exerted to make manufacturing systems smart, smart manufacturing systems do
not have a widely accepted definition. In Industry 4.0, CPPSs can be regarded as smart
manufacturing systems. CPPSs comprise smart machines, warehousing systems, and production
facilities that have been developed digitally and feature end-to-end ICT-based integration from
inbound logistics to production, marketing, outbound logistics, and service [3]. Smart manufacturing
systems can generally be defined as fully integrated and collaborative manufacturing systems that
respond in real time to meet the changing demands and conditions in factories and supply networks
and satisfy varying customer needs [8]. Key enabling technologies for smart manufacturing systems
include CPS, IoT, Internet of Services (IoS), cloud-based solutions, artificial intelligence (AI), and
big data analytics. The rest of this paper is structured as follows. Section 2 presents a framework for
Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing systems. Section 3 provides several demonstrative scenarios.
Section 4 discusses current challenges and future perspectives, and Section 5 presents the
conclusions.
3. 2 Smart manufacturing systems for Industry 4.0
The Industry 4.0 concept in the manufacturing sector covers a wide range of applications from
product design to logistics. The role of mechatronics, a basic concept in manufacturing system
design, has been modified to suit CPS. Smart product design based on customized requirements that
target individualized products has been proposed . Predictive maintenance and its application in
machine health prognosis are popular topics in Industry 4.0-based CPS. Machine Tools 4.0 as the
next generation of machine tools has been introduced in machining sites . Energy Management 4.0
has also been proposed for decision-based energy data and has transformed energy monitoring
systems into autonomous systems with self-optimized energy use. Moreover, the implication of
Industry 4.0 technologies on logistic systems has been investigated. The entire range of applications
cannot be discussed in a single paper. Therefore, this paper only presents design, monitoring,
23
machining, control, and scheduling applications. Figure 1 presents a framework of Industry 4.0 smart
manufacturing systems. The horizontal axis shows typical

Fig. 1 Conceptual framework of Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing systems

issues in Industry 4.0, including smart design, smart machining, smart monitoring, smart control,
smart scheduling, and industrial applications, which are the focus of this work. The vertical axis
shows issues in another dimension of Industry 4.0 ranging from sensor and actuator deployment to
data collection, data analysis, and decision making. In Industry 4.0, data gathering and analysis are
the main sources of the smartness of activities shown on the horizontal axis.
Smart design. Traditional design has been upgraded and has become smart due to the rapid
development of new technologies, such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Hybrid
prototyping using VR techniques has been introduced to additive manufacturing. Design software,
such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), can now interact
with smart physical prototype systems in real time via 3D printing integrated with CPS and AR .
Thus, engineering changes and physical realizations could be combined to achieve a smart design
paradigm.
Smart machining. In Industry 4.0, smart machining can be achieved with the aid of smart robots and
other types of smart objects that can sense and interact with one another in real time . For example,
CPS-enabled smart machine tools can capture real-time data and transfer them to a cloud-based
central system so that machine tools and their twined services can be synchronized to provide smart
manufacturing solutions. In addition, self-optimization control systems provide in-process quality
control and eliminate the need for post-process quality inspection .
Smart monitoring. Monitoring is an important aspect in the operation, maintenance, and optimal
scheduling of Industry 4.0 manufacturing systems . The widespread deployment of various sensors
has made smart monitoring possible. For example, data on various manufacturing objects, such as
24
temperature, electricity consumption, vibrations, and speed, can be obtained in real time. Smart
monitoring provides not only a graphical visualization of these data but also alerts when abnormality
occurs in machines or tools . CPS and IoT are key technologies that enable smart monitoring in
Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing systems. Smart control. In Industry 4.0, high-resolution, adaptive
production control (i.e., smart control) can be achieved by developing cyber-physical production
control systems .
Smart control is mainly executed to manage various smart machines or tools physically through a
cloud-enabled platform . End users can switch off a machine or robot via their smartphones .
Decisions can then be timely reflected in frontline manufacturing sites, such as robot-based assembly
lines or smart machines .
Smart scheduling. Smart scheduling mainly utilizes advanced models and algorithms to draw
information from data captured by sensors. Data-driven techniques and advanced decision
architecture can be used to perform smart scheduling. For example, distributed smart models that
utilize a hierarchical interactive architecture can be used for reliable real-time scheduling and
execution . Production behavior and procedures can then be carried out automatically and effectively
because of the well established structures and services. With the aid of data input mechanisms, the
output resolutions are fed back to the parties involved in different ways .
Industrial applications. Industrial applications that target different industry implementations of
various solutions are the ultimate goal of Industry 4.0 and may revolutionize manufacturing systems.
The solutions provided by Industry 4.0 are sufficiently flexible to support customized configuration
and development according to the uniqueness and specific requirements of several industries, such as
the food industry that includes a large number of perishable products. Thus, dynamic manufacturing
networks are provided opportunities to manage their supply and business modes . With the support of
configurable facilities from layers of smart design and manufacturing and smart decision making,
applications can achieve a holistic perspective by considering practical concerns, such as production
efficiency, logistics availability, time constraints, and multiple criteria . Several of the key research
topics within this framework are summarized as follows.
Smart design and manufacturing. Research at this level encompasses smart design, smart
prototyping, smart controllers, and smart sensors . Real-time control and monitoring support the
realization of smart manufacturing. Supporting technologies include IoT, STEPNC, 3D printing,
industrial robotics, and wireless communication .
Smart decision-making. Smart decision making is at the center of Industry 4.0. The ultimate goal of
deploying widespread sensors is to achieve smart decision making through comprehensive data
collection. The realization of smart decision making requires real-time information sharing and
collaboration . Big data and its analytics play an important role in smart decision-making tasks, such
as data-driven modeling and data-enabled predictive maintenance . Many technologies, including
CPS, big data analytics, cloud computing, modeling, and simulation, contribute to the realization of
smart decision making .
Big data analytics. CPS and IoT-based manufacturing systems involve the generation of vast
amounts of data in Industry 4.0 , and big data analytics is crucial for the design and operations of
manufacturing systems . For example, by using the big data analytics approach, a holistic framework
for data-driven risk assessment for industrial manufacturing systems has been presented based on
25
real-time data. Such a topic has been widely reported to support production optimization and
manufacturing CPS visualization.
Industrial implementations. Industrial applications are the ultimate aim of Industry 4.0. Almost all
industries, including manufacturing, agriculture, information and media, service, logistics, and
transportation, can benefit from the new industrial revolution. Many new opportunities will be
available for industrial parties . Companies may focus on their core business values or challenges,
which could be upgraded or addressed with Industry 4.0-enabled solutions.

4. Demonstrative scenarios
ISO 9241-210 defines UX as “a person’s perceptions and responses resulting from the use and/or
anticipated use of a product, system, or service”. In the Industry 4.0 environment, the two typical
emerging tendencies in the product development stage are 1) customers become actively involved in
the product design process to cocreate personalized products with improved UX and satisfaction,
26
which is known as the manufacturing paradigm of mass personalization and 2) products themselves
become smart and able to communicate with other things in their lifecycle as defined in the IoT .
Both aspects aim to improve UX during the product development stage. However, only a few studies
have discussed the establishment of such a smart design for personalization. To bridge these gaps,
this scenario provides a systematic means to develop a series of personalized wearable products by
considering the aforementioned factors.
The conceptual framework of the proposed co-creation model is shown in Fig. 2 (derived from Ref.).
It consists of physical, cyber, and UX layers. The physical layer stands for physical products (e.g.,
wrist band) and services (e.g., application (app) subscription), the cyber layer stands for web-based
virtual co-design resources (e.g., CAD models and product configuration systems), and the UX layer
stands for the cognitive and affective behaviors of users (e.g., feedback and emotions) during product
development.

Fig. 2 Conceptual framework of the proposed product development process

Smart design adopts state-of-the-art design methodologies (e.g., adaptable design and innovative
design thinking) to guide the user interactive conceptual design process. A product configuration
system with a graphical user interface is also developed to enable the cocreation process. To
prototype the personalized parts, 3D scanners are utilized to capture the specific features of a user,
and the geometric parameters are optimized in CAD software for subsequent 3D printing. A smart
sensor platform (e.g., Raspberry Pi ) is implemented in the prototyping product to test its smart
functions (e.g., heart rate and breathing frequency) with apps in smart mobile devices. Sensor data
are then mashed up into an IoT platform for further data analytics and tracking of the status of the
product (e.g., location and usage time). Meanwhile, UX is captured during product development and
27
prototype product testing stages. For the former, marketing strategies (e.g., questionnaire and focus
group) and digital equipment (e.g., eye tracker and video camera) are utilized to reflect the
perceptions of users toward the co-design process. For the latter, the experiences of users are
recorded by digital equipment (e.g., VR headset and eye tracker) and through marketing strategies.
Smart design processes are pre-designed in a series of human participation experiments that are
conducted to 1) determine the relationship between UX and user preference in the scope of common
products (designed by the designer), modularized products (co-design), and personalized products
(designed by the user); 2) discover which method achieves improved UX in a certain context, i.e.,
product design visualization (e.g., VR and AR) or product design rapid prototyping (e.g., 3D
printing); 3) determine the relationship between the smart attributes and UX of a smart wearable
product; 4) discover user behavior in the co-design human-computer interaction process; and 5)
provide useful guidelines to engineer-to-order companies for customer-centric product development
optimization.
4.2 Smart machining: CPS-based smart machine tools
After smart design, CPS-enabled smart machine tools are used to produce physical products. CPS are
can bring together virtual and physical worlds to create a truly networked world in which intelligent
objects communicate and interact with one another. In Industry 4.0, production systems evolve into
CPPS, which comprise smart machines, warehousing systems, and production facilities that have
developed digitally and feature end-to-end ICT-based integration .
Smart machine tools can be regarded as combinations of different CPS (as shown in Fig. 3). Radio
frequency identification devices (RFID) tags are attached to critical components, such as spindles,
bearings, and cutting tools, so that physical objects can be uniquely identified. Various sensors
(accelerometers, dynamometers, AE sensors, etc.), cameras, and data acquisition devices are
deployed in the machine tools to collect real-time machining data on each critical component and
machining process.
Communication service deals with the integration, communication, and management of real-time
machining data collected from smart machine tools. Although different data communication
technologies (Ethernet, RS 232, 4G network, Bluetooth, etc.) can be utilized to transmit real-time
data depending on different data acquisition devices, the formats of various data originating from
different machine controllers and sensors pose significant challenges to data integration and
management. Additionally, after gathering all the data, a digital twin for each critical component
needs to be modeled to comprehensively represent its physical attributes and real-time status
simultaneously. Standardized data communication protocols and information modeling methods are
used to address these issues. MT Connect is an open, royalty-free communication standard intended
to enhance the data acquisition capabilities of devices and applications and move toward a plug-and-
play environment to reduce the

28
 Fig. 3 CPS-enabled smart machine tools
cost of data integration . MT Connect can translate data collected from different devices into the
XML data format, which can be used by most software applications. ISO 10303, also known as
STEP, is an ISO standard that describes product data throughout the life cycle of a product
independent of any particular system. On the basis of these standards, communication service creates
digital twins for the critical components and provides well formatted real-time data to various
applications through the Internet.
Smart visibility service is an application that takes advantage of real-time data provided by the
communication service. Given the availability of real-time data from field-level devices on the
Internet, the real-time status of each critical component of smart machine tools can be remotely
visualized from mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones. Statistical reports on machine tool
status can be directly accessed by business management systems, such as enterprise resource
planning (ERP), thus enabling seamless communication between field-level manufacturing devices
and high-level decision-making systems. Detailed historical data would be available if each critical
component is saved in the cloud and locally by recording the real-time data provided by the
communication service. Then, prognostics and health management (PHM) algorithms can be applied
to assess the health state of certain components so that proactive maintenance can be achieved and
machine failure can be avoided. AR can visualize machining processes. Combining AR technology
with real-time manufacturing data collected during machining processes will enable intuitive and
effective interactions between users and smart machine tools.

29
4.3 Smart monitoring:
Energy consumption monitoring Energy-efficient production is a concern of many industrial
enterprises in Industry 4.0 manufacturing systems. A machining workshop contains many machining
equipment (e.g., machine tools), as shown in Fig. 4. The X axis denotes time (in h), and the Y axis
denotes power consumption (in kW). Currently, energy prices are soaring, and environmental
protection is a major concern of many countries.
Each piece of machining equipment usually has a fixed energy consumption characteristic. Several
energy demands, such as the power for starting a machine tool, idle power, the power for starting the
spindle, cutting power, and the power of the machine function (tool change, work piece handling),
during machining operations are usually fixed. Some portions cannot be expressed using formulae.
For example, the power for starting the spindle may have complex expressions, which increase the
difficulty of calculating the energy demand and subsequent optimization. Furthermore, a workshop
experiences power fluctuations that result in difficulties in establishing an energy consumption
model. To achieve energy-efficient production, the machining energy consumption must be
monitored in real time.
Owing to the widespread deployment of various sensors, energy consumption data can be collected
in Industry 4.0. Machine learning methods can be applied to the collected data to determine the
energy demand characteristics. Deep neural network (DNN) is a machine learning method that
focuses on the analysis of large datasets. It can be utilized to extract the energy consumption
characteristics or trends

Fig. 4 Energy-efficient manufacturing

30
of manufacturing equipment on the basis of data obtained from energy consumption monitoring.
Input and output determination is the first procedure in DNN. The input includes machine tools,
cutting tools, materials of parts to be machined, parameters, machining strategies, transporters, and
auxiliaries. The output is the energy consumption of each stage during machining processes.
Different cutting tools possess different parameter ranges (e.g., cutting velocity and feed rate). The
machine tool, cutting tool, and material jointly determine the cutting energy consumption, which thus
becomes a variable energy demand. The relationship between the combination and cutting of energy
consumption can therefore be established via DNN.
4.4 Smart control: Cloud-based numerical control Smart control in Industry 4.0 manufacturing
systems is significant because a machine tool and its control system have become highly
sophisticated. For example, a current computer numerical control (CNC) system can be used by an
operator, who in turn uses the human-machine interface (HMI), switches, and buttons to manipulate
the machine and make it perform a machining job. Each control system of the machine tool operates
independently, thus creating an “information isolated island” problem. In a cloud manufacturing
environment, a new and innovative form called control system as a service (CSaaS) is provided.
Users of CSaaS are not limited to machine operators but include machine supervisory vendors and
even end users of the product to address the emerging demands in new business models.
A cloud-based smart control system is illustrated in Fig. 5. CNC control is used as an example to
illustrate the key concepts. All non-real-time tasks are executed in the cloud. Machining jobs are
scheduled and distributed among connected machine tools in consideration of their capability and
availability, which are treated as local manufacturing resources. A local operator can start machining
by logging a part program. The cloud can interpret the part program whether it is in G/M code or in

31
 Fig. 5 Cloud-based smart control system
STEP-NC. If it is a STEP-NC part program, the cloud will generate a tool path from the STEP-NC
part program. During the tool-path generation process, offline optimization tasks, such as
optimization of cutter selection and resequencing of the working steps and cutting parameter, can be
performed with the help of a knowledge base or other optimization services.
Interpolation is also executed in the cloud, so the computational power of the cloud is fully used. If
no adaptive control is involved, then the generation of setpoints by the interpolator is independent of
the feedback control of the machine tool. The local control system is responsible for ensuring that the
axes follow the setpoints precisely.
In the local control system, the connection management takes charge of managing the Internet
connection between the cloud and the local. Data monitoring is responsible for observing the data
received and coping with any transmission errors. Proper setpoints are fed to drives and transformed
into a pulse command, which is finally transmitted through the fieldbus and executed by the motors.
The feedback from the encoder is used by the machine monitoring module. By combining the
information from other sensors, the machine monitoring module provides the status of the machining
and machine tool. Although HMI is provided by the cloud, in the local control system, a simple HMI
still displays basic information for the operator to control the machine tool in the case that the cloud
service is unavailable. The information from a machine tool, including current axis positions, setup,
and cutter status, is transmitted to the cloud to be used when the tool paths are generated. The
progress of the machining tasks and the status of the machine tool (e.g., operation status and warning
information) are transmitted to the cloud by the local control system.
4.5 Smart scheduling:
Machine scheduling in smart factories Smart machine scheduling can be achieved based on smart
machines, smart monitoring (e.g., energy consumption monitoring), and smart control system from
the cloud. Machine scheduling is a classical problem that has been studied for decades , and in
Industry 4.0, a number of new characteristics and requirements exist (Fig. 6). Machines in Industry
4.0 are endowed with a certain degree of intelligence and can communicate with one another by
deploying various sensors and wireless communication devices (e.g., RFID). In this case, machines
are,

32
 Fig. 6 Machine scheduling in Industry 4.0
to a large extent, transparent in the sense that data of each part of a machine can be conveniently
collected in real time. Optimal machine scheduling can be performed by extracting useful
information (such as operating status and energy consumption) from the collected data. This situation
presents many advantages and eliminates several barriers in machine scheduling, such as machine
breakdown and unavailability, because machine breakdown or unavailability can be foreseen in the
Industry 4.0 manufacturing environment. Another main difference between machine scheduling in
Industry 4.0 and traditional machine scheduling is that products (or parts) are smart and can
communicate with machines, which brings new advantages and challenges.
In the Industry 4.0 manufacturing environment, each machine is a CPS entity that can communicate
with others in physical and virtual worlds (Fig. 6). The essence of machine scheduling in Industry
4.0 is the scheduling of collaborative CPS. The complexity of machine scheduling in Industry 4.0
originates from the typical characteristics of CPS, such as autonomous (e.g., selfaware, self-predict,
and self-compare), decentralized, and real time.
As a result, machine scheduling in Industry 4.0 requires efficient, dynamic, and decentralized
scheduling methods . In fact, machine scheduling in Industry 4.0 can be well supported by enhancing
a machine into a CPS with comprehensive perception. AI, such as multi-agent systems, provides an
effective instrument for machine scheduling in an Industry 4.0 smart factory. In Industry 4.0
manufacturing systems, scheduling models and algorithms are implemented in the cyber space of
CPS (e.g., cloud); they interact with physical machines and cooperatively drive production.
4.6 Industrial implementation: Smart 3D scanning for automated quality inspection
Material inspection and quality control in a smart production environment are challenges in Industry
4.0. An Industry 4.0 smart factory is established by merging the physical world of shop floor
equipment with the virtual world of ICT. Under this circumstance, manufacturers should be aware
that producing a single product must remain profitable. Therefore, revolutionary changes in smart
machines and other smart equipment on the shop floor should be conveyed by smart quality control
to ensure the delivery of best-quality products to customers. Customers also desire to have access to
real-time quality data to ensure that the final products satisfy their requests. For this task, a novel
33
technology that can speed up quality inspection processes with high accuracy and backward
traceability is required .
A common technology to execute the quality inspection of processing materials and measure the
quality of final products is the coordinate measuring machine (CMM). However, current CMM
technologies cannot provide fast quality assessment for individual products nor measure complex
geometric parts of manufactured products. Accordingly, technologies in metrology have changed in
the past few decades from stand-alone and fixed CMM equipment to portable measuring devices.
Advanced optical machine vision technologies are also adopted to perform inspection tasks by
introducing 3D laser scanning for quality inspection. These changes have not only brought inspection
right to the production line as close to the part as possible, but have also made it automated with high
accuracy.
Figure 7 shows the principle of 3D scanning for automated quality inspection. The process begins by
scanning an object and creating 3D files of points called point clouds as raw input. Unreliable range
measurements (outliers) are removed through a filtering process. Then, point clouds are analyzed and
compared with those in the initial design . The results are visualized with different colors to show the
degree of quality of each segment of the part.

Fig. 7 Smart 3D scanning for automated quality inspection

The results are visualized with different colors to show the degree of quality of each segment of the
part. The data gathered from each process are stored in a large data storage. By using big data
analytic tools, control charts, mathematical statistics knowledge, and intelligent algorithms, the data
are processed to provide valuable information for manufacturers and customers. This system is also
connected to the Internet to provide real-time online quality data on the processing parts or finished
workpiece for customer access.

34
Automated quality inspection using 3D scanning provides accurate quality results, is fast and easy to
implement, reduces the time consumed by the inspection process, and is suitable for all materials;
moreover, the final part/product can be compared with the initial design to ensure fitting
performance with other parts . However, this technology possesses drawbacks, such as high cost of
the device, limited point per second scanning volume, and need for high-capability hardware for data
processing.
Table 1 summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of each individual project in the
demonstrative cases.

CHAPTER-5
5. Current challenges and future perspectives
Most manufacturing systems use typical machinery to accomplish various processes according to
planned production logics. Manual and paper-based working mechanisms are commonly utilized to
support these processes . Several challenges exist in the use of these mechanisms. First, working
efficiency is low because all the operations, interactions, and executions on shop floors are time
consuming when large amounts of manpower are used. For example, machine operators, technical
engineers, chief engineers, and shop floor supervisors usually need to meet to discuss and establish a
solution when designs are reengineered. Such meetings usually last for more than half a day because
information or data need to be shared and current situations need to be analyzed to establish a
suitable solution. Second, data collection is mainly based on paper sheets or record cards. Various
workers have to write down critical data, such as working pieces, quality data, and WIP level .
Workers are usually busy with operating machines and reluctant to spend time on data recording,
which is not a value-adding process. Third, shop floor managers have to use data to make
manufacturing decisions, such as production planning and scheduling. These decisions are prone to
become unreasonable and unpractical when they are based on data from a large number of paper
sheets or cards because dealing with a large number of paper sheets and cards is time consuming and
tedious; moreover, the information obtained is always not up to date. To keep pace with the Industry
4.0 era, real-time data collection is required for most manufacturing companies. IoT and CPS can
provide possible solutions to these issues. The future of real-time data collection in manufacturing
systems may be carried out as follows.

35
 IoT-enabled data collection. Typical IoT technologies, such as RFID and barcoding, can be
embedded into various manufacturing resources. In this manner, they are converted into
smart manufacturing objects (SMOs) that can intelligently interact and communicate with
one another so that real-time production data can be captured and collected in real time.
 Smart sensors. With the rapid development of cutting edge technologies, smart sensors can
now integrate multifunctional capabilities to collect real-time data on temperature, force,
pressure, and humidity. These sensors are attached to various SMOs so that manufacturing
operations and production lines or working stations can be synchronized with physical
operational and information flows.
 CPS-based smart machines. In the future, machines will be converted into smart objects by
taking advantage of CPS technology. Smart machines can send their working status in real
time to a central cloud-based “manager” that can monitor their states through a visualization
approach. Currently, manufacturing companies are facing challenges in visualizing and
displaying various manufacturing services. Information visibility plays an important role in
precise decision making in Industry 4.0. Several challenges exist when implementing
manufacturing virtualization and visualization. First, manufacturing objects should be
visualized in real time to ensure production quality and safety. However, the closed-circuit
television (CCTV) system, which is the only option, cannot reflect the status of a working
machine. Manufacturing resources should be virtualized into various services so that they can
be shared as a service. Virtualization approaches and sharing models have been rarely
reported and investigated. Finally, the visibility of various manufacturing objects requires a
new data modeling approach that can combine heterogeneous data into a standardized format.
36
 Afterward, such data can be displayed for different end users who are concerned about the
different visibility of different equipment. However, these research gaps have been rarely
studied in existing literature. To fill these gaps, future research should emphasize the
following aspects.
 AR-enabled real-time visibility. Applying AR technology to manufacturing can result in real-
time visibility of working machines. With the data from smart machines, the AR interface can
reflect the status of a machine and its processing behavior through a visualized model in real
time. AR-enabled real-time visibility allows end users to visualize machine data that are
projected onto a real machining scene .
 Cyber virtualization modeling. Various physical manufacturing resources are modeled by the
cyber virtualization approach so that their capability and status can be reflected in a cloud
platform, which is going to be shared within an alliance. This modeling approach uses data
from smart machines and sensors to build a standardized service that can be displayed and
visualized by other users who can benefit from the service. Decision making in smart
manufacturing systems for Industry 4.0 requires information and knowledge, which can be
mined from large amounts of production data. In a recent survey, 55% of the respondents felt
that decision making is not viewed at senior levels of their organizations. Faced with the big
data from manufacturing sites, several challenges should be addressed. First, decision models
need a long time to establish a solution when large amounts of data are used. Various
objectives are utilized for different purposes, such as optimization of production planning and
scheduling . However, precise data input is lacking when decision making is carried out.
Second, decision making in Industry 4.0 always targets manufacturing resource sharing,
which can make full use of manufacturing equipment and services. A new manufacturing
paradigm is thus needed. Future decision making should focus on two directions.
 Decision-making models driven by big data analytics. These models can excavate useful
information and knowledge from large amounts of production data to support specific
decision making. Advanced technologies or algorithms, such as deep machine learning, can
be integrated into these models where big data analytics are encapsulated as services . Such
services may be deployed in a cloud platform so that they can be downloaded easily by end
users for daily decision making.
 Cloud manufacturing. With the support of cloud technology and IoT, cloud manufacturing
can transform various manufacturing resources into services so that end users can request
services on demand in a convenient payas-you-go manner . Moreover, CPS integration into
cloud manufacturing enables remote monitoring and execution of manufacturing operations.
Thus, physical machinery and virtualized services are implemented to support manufacturing
activities and decision making. The networked manufacturing services allow for smart
decision making through a collaborative and intelligent full sharing and circulation of
manufacturing capabilities and services.

innovation, positioning our organization for sustained success in the digital age. As we embark on

38
this transformative journey, let us remain steadfast in our commitment to excellence and embrace the
endless possibilities that smart manufacturing presents. Together, we will chart a course towards a
future of unparalleled efficiency, sustainability, and prosperity.

Industry 4.0 holds the promise of increased flexibility, mass customization, increased speed,
improved quality, and enhanced productivity in manufacturing and thus enables companies to cope
with various challenges, such as increasingly individualized products, shortened lead time to market,
and high product quality. This paper presents the conceptual framework of Industry 4.0 smart
manufacturing systems and showcases several key technologies and demonstrative scenarios. On the
basis of the demonstrative scenarios, related key technologies, such as Pai ZHENG et al. Smart
manufacturing systems for Industry 4.0 147 Internet of Things, CPS, cloud manufacturing, and big
data analytics, are reviewed. Current challenges and future perspectives are also highlighted to
inspire researchers and practitioners when they embark on Industry 4.0. The significant contributions
of this work are as follows. First, a systematic framework for Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing
systems is proposed. The framework covers many relevant topics, such as design, machining,
monitoring, control, and scheduling. It provides an important reference for academicians and
practitioners to rethink the essence of Industry 4.0 from different perspectives. Second, key
perspectives are reviewed under the framework by combining several studies carried out by the
authors. Future research directions in terms of data collection, virtualization, and decision making are
also provided. This work is expected to provide the manufacturing industry insights into
implementing Industry 4.0 in the near future.
