Abstract
Medical devices and products are a special type of manufactured object. Medical applications normally have higher requirements for quality, complexity, personalization, precision and low fault tolerance than other types of manufactured product. It is therefore especially important to develop smart systems to support all phases of medical-related manufacturing. However, in recent years, there is lack of a thorough literature survey for the smart system research in this area. Meanwhile, new technologies have been rapidly developed recently, but a comprehensive outlook of the future research trend is still missing. Thus, in this work we survey and analyse recent research achievements in detail. The first aim of this paper is to determine what smart manufacturing system research is important for the medical applications, as well as identifying the essential supporting technologies. Second, key research areas and challenges are identified and discussed to guide the future research in this area.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Manufacturing Systems is dedicated to showcasing cutting-edge fundamental and applied research in manufacturing at the systems level. Encompassing products, equipment, people, information, control, and support functions, manufacturing systems play a pivotal role in the economical and competitive development, production, delivery, and total lifecycle of products, meeting market and societal needs.
With a commitment to publishing archival scholarly literature, the journal strives to advance the state of the art in manufacturing systems and foster innovation in crafting efficient, robust, and sustainable manufacturing systems. The focus extends from equipment-level considerations to the broader scope of the extended enterprise. The Journal welcomes research addressing challenges across various scales, including nano, micro, and macro-scale manufacturing, and spanning diverse sectors such as aerospace, automotive, energy, and medical device manufacturing.
