Chapter 6: IoT Industry 4.0 Flashcards
Which fraction of companies already uses industry 4.0?
10 %
What is the concept of Industry 4.0?
- Name for the trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies
- Originated from german high tech strategy
- Centered around the concept of Smart Factories
- monitoring of the physical world and mapping to virtual decision engines
- Seamless integration of humans and machines
Briefly describe each individual phase of industry hsitroy from 1.0 to 4.0
- Industry 1.0: Mechanical production (steam and water)
- Industry 2.0: Mass production (electrical energy)
- Industry 3.0: automated production (using IT)
- Industry 4.0: intelligent production (IoT, cloud, big data)
What is the environment for the Past (Industry 1.0 & 2.0) Today ( Industry 3.0) and Tomorrow (Industry 4.0)
Past: Analog communication (Local markets, mainframe computers)
Today: Internet and Intranet (Export markets, personal computers)
Internet-of-Things: Localized markets (mobile & cloud computing)
What is the system for the Past (Industry 1.0 & 2.0) Today ( Industry 3.0) and Tomorrow (Industry 4.0)
Past: Neo-Taylorism (Inventory, Execution-oriented, Foreman organization)
Today: Lean production (Just-in-Time, Process oriented, Team organization)
Tomorrow: Smart Factory (Individual production, Resilient production, Augmented operators)
What is the production for the Past (Industry 1.0 & 2.0) Today ( Industry 3.0) and Tomorrow (Industry 4.0)
Past: Mechanization (Schedules, Drawing Tables, Hand Wheels)
Today: Automization (CNC, ERP, CAD)
Tomorrow: Virtualization (Virtual Production, Mobile devices, Smart products)
What are the design principles of Industry 4.0 ?
- Modularity
- Interoperability
- Decentralization
- Virtualization
- Service orientation
- Real-time capability
What are the elements of a smart factory (IoT) ?
- Robot
- HMI
- Sensor
- Monitoring Tool
- Instrument
- Control System
Describe the environment of the smart factory.
- Customer is integrated in early engineering steps
- Production environment leverages economies of scale due to flexible processes)
- Combination of several systems in the physical environment via Cloud
How can we use RFID in the context of logistics?
- RFID tag to identify objects
- Document them
- Feed them into system (which sate / position / part of the process the objects are)
Give an example of a smart factory
- Two robots
- One sort bricks the other build walls
- Robots communicate via heart-beat channel; if one robot fails the other one takes over
- sensors and saved data to coordinate the work
What are the impacts of industry 4.0?
- Benefits: ( lower costs, safety, sustainability)
- Complex systems: (Integration becomes a challenge)
- New skills required (Data science, security experts)
- Industry 4.0 is still very new
–> Core thing is smart factories are available on smart to medium enterprises (new level of individuality through better planning and collaboration of cyber-physical systems)
