Reliable, High-Performance Wireless Systems for Factory Automation

September 17, 2020

Author(s)

Kang B. Lee, Rick Candell, Hans-Peter Bernhard, Dave Cavalcanti, Zhibo Pang, Inaki Val

Wireless has emerged as an enabling technology to improve operational flexibility and efficiency for factory automation. The latest wireless technology, standardization activities, and research issues were explored and discussed through the examination of

Nesting and Scheduling Problems for Additive Manufacturing: A Taxonomy and Review

August 21, 2020

Author(s)

Yosep Oh, Paul Witherell, Yan Lu, Timothy A. Sprock

With the trends of Industry 4.0 spanning physical and virtual worlds, Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been the mainstream for realizing complex geometries designed in computers. Meanwhile, a considerable number of AM studies have focused on effectively

Linking Performance Data and Geospatial Information of Manufacturing Assets through Standard Representations

August 16, 2020

Author(s)

Aaron Hanke, Teodor Vernica, William Z. Bernstein

Interoperability across emerging visualization modalities, including augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), remains a challenge with respect to industrial applications. One critical issue relates to the lack of standard approaches for

Asset Condition Management: A Framework for Smart, Health-Ready Manufacturing Systems

June 26, 2020

Author(s)

Nancy Diaz-Elsayed, Luis Hernandez, Ravi Rajamani, Brian Weiss

Unscheduled downtime in manufacturing systems can be a major source of lost productivity, profits, and, ultimately, reduced process quality and reliability. However, the incorporation of asset condition management (ACM) into manufacturing systems offers an

Economics of Manufacturing Machinery Maintenance: A Survey and Analysis of U.S. Costs and Benefits

June 1, 2020

Author(s)

Douglas Thomas, Brian Weiss

This report examines U.S. costs of machinery maintenance along with losses due to inadequate maintenance strategies in discrete manufacturing (NAICS 321-339, excluding NAICS 324 and 325) using data collected from U.S. manufacturers. The report further

Industry Review of Distributed Production in Discrete Manufacturing

April 18, 2020

Author(s)

Moneer M. Helu, William Sobel, Saigopal Nelaturi, Russell Waddell, Scott Hibbard

Distributed production paradigms have grown in discrete manufacturing as discrete products are increasingly made by global, distributed networks. Current challenges faced by discrete manufacturing, such as increased globalization, market volatility

FRAMEWORK FOR A DIGITAL TWIN IN MANUFACTURING

April 11, 2020

Author(s)

Guodong Shao, Moneer M. Helu

Digital twin has the potential to be an important technology for achieving smart manufacturing. However, there remains a lot of confusion about the concept and how it can be implemented in real manufacturing systems, especially among small-to-medium

Using Locally Adjustable Hand-Eye Calibrations to Reduce Robot Localization Error

April 7, 2020

Author(s)

Marek Franaszek, Geraldine Cheok

Accurate pose of robot end effector is required in many applications. Typically, this is achieved by robot calibration and then, registration of the robot frame to the world frame. In this paper, the registration of a poorly calibrated robot to a world

The State of Integrated CAM/CNC Control Systems: Prior Developments and the Path Towards a Smarter CNC

April 1, 2020

Author(s)

Roby Lynn, Moneer Helu, Mukul Sati, Tommy Tucker, Thomas Kurfess

Current industrial practice in automated manufacturing operations relies on low fidelity data transmission methods between computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools and the computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems used to program them. The typical

Summary Report: Meeting of the ASME Standards Subcommittee on Advanced Monitoring, Diagnostics, and Prognostics for Manufacturing Operations Hosted at NIST

March 20, 2020

Author(s)

Brian A. Weiss, Michael P. Brundage, Joan Pellegrino

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) hosted the ASME Standards Subcommittee Meeting on Advanced Monitoring, Diagnostics, and Prognostics for Manufacturing Operations on May 22-23, at the NIST Gaithersburg (Maryland) campus. The purpose

DIGITAL TWIN FOR SMART MANUFACTURING: THE SIMULATION ASPECT

December 11, 2019

Author(s)

Guodong Shao, Sanjay Jain, Christoph Laroque, Loo Hay Lee, Peter Lendermann, Oliver Rose

The purpose of this panel is to discuss the state of the art in digital twin for manufacturing research and practice from the perspective of the simulation community. The panelists come from the US, Europe, and Asia representing academia, industry, and

White Paper: Determining When and Where PHM Should be Integrated into Manufacturing Operations

October 28, 2019

Author(s)

Luis Hernandez, Mark Walker, Al Salour, Radu Pavel, Brian Weiss

The ASME Subcommittee on Monitoring, Diagnostics, and Prognostics for Advanced Manufacturing has produced this white paper to highlight the rationale and key considerations behind the initiative to develop guidelines for when and where manufacturers should

Using graphs to link data across the product lifecycle for enabling smart manufacturing digital threads

September 19, 2019

Author(s)

Thomas D. Hedberg, Manas Bajaj, Jaime A. Camelio

Smart manufacturing promises to provide significant increases in productivity and effectiveness of manufacturing systems by better connecting the data from people, processes, and things. However, there is no uniform, generalized method for deploying linked
