Industry 4.0 : Smart And Connected Business Perspective

Why smart and connected products? There are several benefits to use smart and connected products and they are: Faster. Cheaper. Better usage of product. Improved recall process of product. Decreased environmental impact. Smart supply chain. Connecting the physical objects. Sharing the data between physical objects. Increasing the resource efficiency. Increasing the productivity. Mediums to getting smart and connected Embedded Systems. Cloud computing. Internet of things (IOT). Sensors. Customer values. Blueprint of profits. Key resources. Key processes. What is the process to getting smart and connected? There are four key processes they are: 1. Monitor Resource: Sensors. External data sources. Effects : Health monitoring of products. Generating alerts. Taking action against the odds. 2. Control Resource: Custom software. Effects: Controlling the products. Personalization. 3. Optimisation Resource: Optimization algorithms. Effects: Enhances the performance. Enables remote services. ...

Industry 4.0 : Lean Production System

What is LEAN production system? Finishing good inventories through eliminating waste from process. It is developed by Toyota Motor Corporation and mainly focusses on costumer's need. Lean approach looks from customers perspective and other approach looks from tasks and production perspective. Lean production system established on JIDOKA and Just-In-Time. JIDOKA means when there is a problem stop production and stop producing defective products. Just-In-Time means each process produces what is need by the next process in a continuous flow. Write 7 types of wastes. Transportation – Excessive movements of people for materials or information. Waiting – Period of inactivity of people for material or information. Motion – Non value-added movement of people. Inventory – Cost of inventory such as raw materials, work in process, finished goods. Over-processing – Doing more work in product than customer values. Defects – Defects can be in products or paper works. Overproduction – Producing m...

Industry 4.0 : Sustainability Assessment Of Manufacturing Industry

What Is sustainable industry? Sustainability means continue at fixed rate. Sustainable Industry provides: Energy efficiency Conservation of resource Low-waste production Example: Sustainable Manufacturing Industries. Industry 4.0 proposes inclusion of the characteristics of the   previous industry revolution in more sustainable way. Industry 4.0 or the fourth industrial revolution A comprehensive industrial revolution It incorporates globalization and emerging issues. What is globalisation issue? Globalization is one of the drivers   of sustainable industries. Globalization issues affect the   sustainability of any development/ manufacturing. These issues are one of the most   fundamental requirements. What is Supply Chain Management? (SCM) It is strategic function in manufacturing industry . Many different stages including supplier, production system, and   c ustomer. It sequencing the stages for the whole system. The most important stage in SCM is se...

Industry 4.0 : The Fourth Revolution

Que. What is meant by Revolution? Revolution means instantaneous and complete shift. First Shift: From foraging to farming (10,000 years ago) Results:  Production, transportation, communication. Growth in food production, prodding of population growth. Industrial revolution Developments of new technologies and new approaches. Prompts shifts in economic models and social architecture. First industrial revolution: During 1760 – 1840. Driver: invention of steam engine and construction of railway stimulated the revolution. Results: utilization of machines in production. Second industrial revolution: During the transition from 19th century to 20th century. Driver: electricity and assembly line trigged the revolution. Results: mass production Third industrial revolution: Prompted in 1960s. Computer or Digital Revolution. Driver: production of semiconductor trigged the revolution. Results: mainframe, personal computer, and internet. Fourth industrial revolution: Stimulated in 21st century...

Introduction Of IoT Networking (Part II)

IoT Network (Part II) What is the requirement of IoT network? Coverage: Wide Area: IoT networks should cover a broad geographic area, from urban centers to remote rural regions. Indoor Penetration: They should be able to penetrate buildings and other structures for reliable indoor coverage. High Throughput: Efficient Data Transfer: IoT networks must be capable of handling large volumes of data generated by numerous connected devices. Scalability: They should be scalable to accommodate the increasing number of devices and data traffic. Low Latency: Real-time Applications: IoT networks should provide minimal delay between data generation and processing. This is crucial for applications like remote monitoring, automation, and real-time control. Ultra Reliability: Mission-Critical Applications: IoT networks need to be highly reliable, ensuring minimal downtime and consistent data transmission. Fault Tolerance: They should be able to recover from network failures and disrup...

Introduction IoT Networking (Part I)

IoT Network (Part 1) : A Simplified Breakdown In IoT network electrical and electronic systems filled with interconnected devices which is consist of a data source and multiple data sources consisting of sensors, collecting data from every corner and sent for further processing. The traditional internet TCP/IP is great for computers and smartphones but it is not enough to fulfilled the demand of IoT devices.  Many challenges we can face in the traditional internet (TCP/IP) such as data moves slowly, (low throughput), messages disappeared (high packet loss), interruptions everywhere (noisy environment), tiny bits of information (small payloads) and devices moving around (changing topologies). Here we can solving the mystery of an IoT network. We need to find new networking solutions that can handle the low speeds, noisy environments, and frequent changes of IoT devices. IoT devices are the physical objects that are connected to the internet and IoT based thing's are IoT devices...
