Factories of Future
Kiran HanjarI sem, M.TechIE&MMSRIT
Aim of the Presentation*To know what are the Factories of Future
*Why it is important
*Building manufacturing vision
*Roadmap to achieve the above
*Expected results
Introduction
Innovative production technologies are the main source to enhance productivity in manufacturing
Advanced manufacturing and controlling techniques are required
Hence Factories of future
The focus is on four main technological challenges
• ICTs - next generation of robotics, automation
•Virtual factories - supply chains
•Adaptive production
•High-precision manufacturing
Factories of Future – Manufacturing vision
Megatrends and manufacturingIt includes:
*Changing demographics
*Globalization & future markets
*Limited use of natural resources
*The challenge of climate change
*Dynamic technology & innovation
*Sharing global responsibility
Hence, a new logic of global socio-economic sustainability is to be adopted
The long term direction: Manufacturing vision
*Factory and Nature: green / sustainable
*Factory as a good neighbor : close to the customer
*Factories in the value chain: collaborative
*Factory and Humans: human centered
Manufacturing Challenges and opportunities
Manufacturing the products of the future
Source: EFFRA
Economic sustainability of manufacturing
*Realizing reconfigurable, adaptive and evolving factories capable of small scale production
*High performance production
*Resource efficiency in manufacturing
Social sustainability of manufacturing
Environmental sustainability of manufacturing
Key technologies and enablers
Advanced manufacturing processes
*The efficiency and sustainability of both the manufacturing of actual and future products is very much determined by the processes that shape and assemble the components of the product
Mechatronics for advanced manufacturing systems
Information and communication technologies
*Collaboration
*Connectivity
*Mobility
*Intelligence
Modelling, simulation and forecasting methods and tools
Research and Innovation Priorities
*Cost efficiency
*Optimized consumption of resources
*Short time-to-market
*Increased focus on high added value components/goods
*Higher and more stable product quality
*Higher productivity under enhanced safety and ergonomics conditions
*Increased reusability of production systems towards global interoperable factories
Smart Factories
*KAP
*Knowledge, awareness, and prediction of man, machine, material, and method in manufacturing
*The KAP research project aims to provide manufacturing standards to ensure that every existing resource can be used as efficiently as possible through the effective coordination of man, machine, material and method
*KAP stands for knowledge of past performance and awareness of the present state, enabling the prediction of future outcomes
*It is estimated that reductions of over 5% per annum in waste and energy and 10% in time to market
Virtual factories
*GloNet
*Glocal enterprise network focusing on customer-centric collaboration
*GloNet aims at designing, developing, and deploying an agile virtual enterprise environment for networks of SMEs involved in highly customized and service-enhanced products through end-to-end collaboration with customers and local suppliers
* It aims to:
*Develop a novel way to commonly represent/provide information and knowledge
*Generate user-customized interfaces which dynamically adjust to different stakeholders, supporting their access and visualization needs
*Provide these services through the cloud, to be available to anybody, at any time, from anywhere
*Support the negotiation among all involved parties
GloNet results are expected to bring major improvements in production and product life cycle support processes
Adaptive Project Equipment*PopJIM
*Plug and produce joint interface modules
*PopJIM creates an innovative solution to performance limiting problems by optimising mechatronic module alongside a wireless network
*It is based on a novel concept through which the dynamic stiffness of the machine is controlled to maintain process stability, rather than changing the process parameters
The project idea is based on two crucial innovative solutions:
• Replacing conventional machine tool structural joint interfaces by JIM.
• A wireless network consisting of these modules and a machining process proxy to enable adaptive control and plug and produce capability to the JIMs
High Precision manufacturing
Femtoprint
*Femtosecond laser printer for glass microsystems with Nano scale features
The project’s three main objectives are:
• Development of a femtosecond laser which is suitable for glass that can be manufactured on a micro/nano scale.
• Incorporation of the laser into a machine similar to a printer which is able to position and manipulate glass sheets of various thicknesses.
• Demonstration of the printer’s ability to generate a variety of micro/nano-systems with optical, mechanical and fluid-handling capabilities
From stacked to laminated foil
3d printing in glass material
Eco-factory*EMC2-FACTORY
*Eco Manufactured transportation means from Clean and Competitive Factory
*EMC2-Factory is a project which develop a radically new paradigm for cost-effective, highly productive, energy-efficient and sustainable production systems
Contd…
Robots for Automation and other auxiliary process
*MiRoR
*Miniaturised Robotic systems for holistic in-situ Repair and maintenance works in re-strained and hazardous environments
*MiRoR will develop a fundamentally novel concept of a Miniaturised Robotic Machine (Mini-RoboMach) system equipped with intelligence-driven and autonomous abilities
*MiRoR intelligent controller equipped
*Self-positioning
*Reasoning
*Planning
*Adaptation
Towards zero defects*IFaCOM
*Intelligent Fault Correction and self-Optimizing Manufacturing systems
*IFaCOM aims to achieve a near zero defect level of manufacturing for all kinds of manufacturing, with emphasis on production of high value parts, on large variety custom design manufacturing and on high performance products
*Improved performance process control to reduce defect output and reduce the costs of defect avoidance.
*Enhanced quality control to obtain more predictable product quality.
*Enhanced manufacturing process capability independent of manufactured parts
Conclusion *Factories of Future clearly states that significant
improvements can be achieved in order to achieve better results than the existing manufacturing industries.
*It directs how to utilize the limited natural resources effectively and efficiently. Simultaneously to control the green house effects.
* It concentrates on development of new manufacturing strategies and methods which will be demonstrated in industrial cases to reduce defects.
* It also allows the customer to have high degree of customization in choosing the product.
