Cyber manufacturing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cyber manufacturing is a concept derived from cyber-physical systems (CPS) that refers to a modern manufacturing approach offering an information-transparent environment. This approach facilitates asset management, provide reconfigurability, and maintains productivity. Compared to conventional experience-based management systems, cyber manufacturing creates an evidence-based environment, helping equipment users stay informed about networked asset status and translating raw data into potential risks and actionable information. Key driving technologies include the design of cyber-physical systems, combination of engineering domain knowledge with computer sciences, as well as information technologies. Among these, mobile applications for manufacturing are of particular interest to both industries and academia.[1]

Technology

[edit]

Several technologies are involved in developing cyber-manufacturing solutions. The following is a short description of these technologies and their involvement in cyber-manufacturing.

  • Cyber-physical system is the foundation of cyber-manufacturing. Tools and methods within CPS enables possibility of reaching cyber-manufacturing goals.
  • Big Data Analytics is the other significant technology participating in design and development of cyber-manufacturing systems. Connected machines in every industry raise the issue of proper data handling and processing and cyber-manufacturing is not an exemption. Customized developments in cloud computing, artificial intelligence and predictive analytics are applicable in cyber-manufacturing.

Development

[edit]

In 2013 the Office of Naval Research in the US Military has issued a proposal solicitation subjected for cyber-manufacturing.[2]
