Understanding the temperature history over a part during additive manufacturing (AM) is important for optimizing the process and ensuring product quality, as temperature impacts melt pool geometry, defect formation, and microstructure evolution. While in-process temperature monitoring holds promise for evaluating the part quality, existing thermal sensors used in AM provide only partial measurements of the temperature distribution over the part. In this work, we introduce an innovative approach for reconstructing the complete temperature profile using partial data. We formulate this challenge as an inpainting problem, a canonical task in machine learning which entails recovering missing information across a spatial domain. We present a data-driven model based on graph convolutional neural networks. To train the inpainting model, we employ a finite element simulation to generate a diverse dataset of temperature histories for various part geometries. Cross-validation indicates that the inpainting model accurately reconstructs the spatial distribution of part temperature with strong generalizability across various geometries. Further application to experimental data using infrared camera measurements shows that the model accuracy could be improved by augmenting the training data with simulation data that shares process parameters and geometry with the experimental part. By presenting a solution to the temperature inpainting problem, our approach not only improves the assessment of part quality using partial measurements but also paves the way for the creation of a temperature digital twin of the part using thermal sensors.

Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing and smart products have recently attracted substantial attention and are becoming increasingly prevalent in manufacturing systems. As a result of the successful implementation of these technologies, highly customized products can be manufactured using responsive, autonomous manufacturing processes at a competitive cost. This study was conducted at HTW Dresden’s Industrial Internet of Things Test Bed, which simulates state-of-the-art manufacturing scenarios for educational and research purposes. Apart from the physical production facility itself, the associated operational information systems have been fully interconnected in order to allow fast and efficient information exchange between the various manufacturing stages and systems. The presence of this characteristic provides a strong foundation for dealing appropriately with unexpected or planned environmental changes, as well as prevailing uncertainty, which greatly increases the overall system’s resilience. The main objective of this study is to increase the efficiency of the manufacturing system in order to optimize resource consumption and minimize the overall completion time (makespan). This manuscript discusses our experiments in the area of flexible job-shop scheduling problems (FJSP). As part of our research, different methods of representing the state space were explored, heuristic, meta-heuristic, reinforcement learning (RL), and multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) methods were evaluated, and various methods of interaction with the system (designing the action space and filtering in certain situations) were examined. Furthermore, the design of the reward function, which plays an important role in the formulation of the dynamic scheduling problem into an RL problem, has been discussed in depth. Finally, this paper studies the effectiveness of single-agent and multi-agent RL approaches, with a special focus on the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) method, on the fully-fledged digital twin of an industrial IoT system at HTW Dresden. As a result of our experiments, in a multi-agent setting involving individual agents for each manufacturing operation, PPO was able to manage the resources in such a way as to improve the manufacturing system’s performance significantly.

The complex, large-scale semiconductor wafer manufacturing generates substantial diverse data, creating management hurdles and making efficient use of historical scheduling data difficult. To address these challenges, we propose a four-layer application framework for industrial data space for wafer manufacturing system (IDWFS). Firstly, a multi-level model ontology centred on scheduling tasks is constructed to effectively map the evolution of elemental relationships during wafer processing and adaptively change the data organisation. Then, a system architecture for mining the correlation between dynamic and static element data is proposed to fully explore the spatiotemporal correlation relationship of data elements in the processing process. Finally, a scheduling system architecture of “learning + prediction + scheduling” is proposed to fully utilise the scheduling historical domain knowledge and data correlation relationship in semiconductor wafer manufacturing system during the scheduling process. In addition, through three case studies related to the scheduling of semiconductor wafer manufacturing system, IDWFS is effective in heterogeneous data management, coupling relationship mining of element data, logistics scheduling processing, etc., thereby achieving logistics scheduling control of wafer manufacturing system.

Ultrasonic metal welding (UMW) is a key joining technology with widespread industrial applications. Condition monitoring (CM) capabilities are critically needed in UMW applications because process anomalies, such as tool degradation and workpiece surface contamination, significantly deteriorate the joining quality. Recently, machine learning models emerged as a promising tool for CM in many manufacturing applications. Yet, many existing models lack the generalizability or adaptability and cannot be directly applied to new manufacturing process configurations (i.e., domains). Although several domain generalization techniques have been proposed, their successful deployment often requires substantial training data, which can be expensive and time-consuming to collect in a single factory. Such issues may be potentially alleviated by pooling data across factories, but data sharing raises critical data privacy concerns that have prohibited data sharing for collaborative model training in the industry. To address these challenges, this paper presents a Federated Domain Generalization for Condition Monitoring (FDG-CM) framework that provides domain generalization capabilities in distributed learning while ensuring data privacy. By effectively learning a unified representation from the feature space, FDG-CM can adapt CM models for new clients (factories) with different process configurations. To demonstrate the effectiveness of FDG-CM, we investigate two distinct UMW CM tasks, including tool condition monitoring and workpiece surface condition classification. Compared with state-of-the-art federated learning algorithms, FDG-CM achieves a 5.35%–8.08% improvement in CM accuracy. FDG-CM is also shown to achieve excellent performance in challenging scenarios involving unbalanced data distributions and limited participating clients. Furthermore, by implementing the FDG-CM method on an edge–cloud architecture, we show that this method is both viable and efficient in practice. The FDG-CM framework is readily extensible to other manufacturing applications.
超声波金属焊接(UMW)是一种关键的连接技术,在工业领域有着广泛的应用。由于工具退化和工件表面污染等工艺异常会严重影响焊接质量,因此 UMW 应用中亟需状态监测 (CM) 功能。最近,机器学习模型作为一种有前途的工具出现在许多制造应用中。然而,许多现有模型缺乏通用性或适应性,无法直接应用于新的制造工艺配置(即领域)。虽然已经提出了几种领域泛化技术,但成功应用这些技术往往需要大量的训练数据,而在单个工厂收集这些数据可能既昂贵又耗时。通过汇集各工厂的数据,这些问题可能会得到缓解,但数据共享会引发关键的数据隐私问题,这就禁止了行业内用于协作模型训练的数据共享。为了应对这些挑战,本文提出了一种用于状态监测的联邦领域泛化(FDG-CM)框架,在分布式学习中提供领域泛化功能,同时确保数据隐私。通过有效学习特征空间的统一表示,FDG-CM 可以针对具有不同流程配置的新客户(工厂)调整 CM 模型。为了证明 FDG-CM 的有效性,我们研究了两个不同的 UMW CM 任务,包括刀具状态监测和工件表面状态分类。与最先进的联合学习算法相比,FDG-CM 的 CM 准确率提高了 5.35%-8.08%。研究还表明,FDG-CM 在数据分布不平衡、参与客户有限等具有挑战性的情况下也能取得优异的性能。此外,通过在边缘云架构上实施 FDG-CM 方法,我们表明该方法在实践中既可行又高效。FDG-CM 框架可随时扩展到其他制造应用。

Within a Human-centric Human-Robot Collaboration (HHRC) system, monitoring, assessing, and optimizing for an operator’s well-being is essential to creating an efficient and comfortable working environment. Currently, monitoring systems are used for independent assessment of human factors. However, the rise of the Human Digital Twin (HDT) has provided the framework for synchronizing multiple operator well-being assessments to create a comprehensive understanding of the operator’s performance and health. Within manufacturing, an operator’s dynamic well-being can be attributed to their physical and cognitive fatigue across the assembly process. As such, we apply non-invasive video understanding techniques to extract relevant assembly process information for automatic physical fatigue assessment. Our novelty involves a video-based fatigue estimation method, in which the boundary-aware dual-stream MS-TCN combined with an LSTM is proposed to detect the operation type, operation repetitions, and the target arm performing each task in an assembly process video. The detected results are then input into our physical fatigue profile to automatically assess the operator’s localized physical fatigue impact. The assembly process of a real-world bookshelf is recorded and tested against, with our algorithm results showing superiority in operation segmentation and target arm detection as opposed to other recent action segmentation models. In addition, we integrate a cognitive fatigue assessment tool that captures operator physiological signals in real-time for body response detection caused by stress. This provides a more robust HDT of the operator for an HHRC system.
在以人为本的人机协作(HHRC)系统中,监测、评估和优化操作员的健康状况对于创造高效舒适的工作环境至关重要。目前,监控系统用于对人为因素进行独立评估。然而,人类数字孪生系统(Human Digital Twin,HDT)的兴起为同步进行多种操作员健康评估提供了框架,以便全面了解操作员的工作表现和健康状况。在制造业中,操作员的动态健康状况可归因于他们在整个装配过程中的身体和认知疲劳。因此,我们应用非侵入式视频理解技术来提取相关装配流程信息,以进行自动身体疲劳评估。我们的新颖之处在于基于视频的疲劳评估方法,其中提出了边界感知双流 MS-TCN 与 LSTM 相结合的方法,用于检测装配过程视频中的操作类型、操作重复次数以及执行每项任务的目标手臂。然后将检测到的结果输入我们的身体疲劳曲线,以自动评估操作员的局部身体疲劳影响。我们录制并测试了真实世界书架的组装过程,结果表明,与其他最新的动作分割模型相比,我们的算法在操作分割和目标手臂检测方面更具优势。此外,我们还集成了认知疲劳评估工具,可实时捕捉操作员的生理信号,以检测压力引起的身体反应。这为人机交互系统提供了更强大的操作员 HDT。

The contact positions corresponding to various tool location point during ball-end milling are complex, and the actual cutting area of flank face presents uneven wear form, which is closely related to its effective cutting distance, linear velocity of edge line microelement, and instantaneous undeformed chip thickness, etc. It is difficult to accurately predict the actual tool wear distribution by theoretical modeling. Therefore, it is necessary to put forward a prediction method of tool wear distribution to ensure the quality of workpiece and the stable state of tool during machining. In this paper, the effective cutting length of tool edge line microelement is calculated, and the instantaneous undeformed chip thickness under various postures considering edge wear is determined. A weighted voting ensemble multi-Transformer transfer learning (WVEM-T) model is established, motion parameters and the actual wear widths VB per edge line are used as training data. The selective freezing strategy is adopted to update the training parameters of the network, so that the trained multi-layer network can accurately predict the wear distribution of flank face in ball-end milling tool under various machining inclination angles. Finally, the accuracy and effectiveness of the prediction method in this paper are verified by the whole life cycle experiment of milling Ti6Al4V alloy.

This paper proposes a new paradigm of extreme manufacturing from the temporal perspective in contrast to the current extreme manufacturing paradigm based on length scales (e.g., from nanometer to close-to-atom). The advent of 5 G and future 6 G (NextG) wireless communication provides unique capabilities of ultra-low end-to-end (E2E) latency (∼1 ms), high speed (up to 20 Gb/s), high reliability (>99.999 %), and high flexibility (wireless) to meet the stringent requirements of future manufacturing. The ultra-low E2E latency enables NextG Manufacturing - a new extreme manufacturing paradigm from the latency perspective. This positioning paper identifies the needs of NextG manufacturing, introduces the characteristics of NextG wireless communication networks, proposes a framework for NextG manufacturing, demonstrates use cases, summarizes current challenges, and provides an outlook for future research directions.

The Airframe Digital Twin (ADT) framework was conceived over a decade ago as a revolutionary way to realise condition-based maintenance within the defence aviation field. Since then, this concept has witnessed significant progress not only in terms of its scope and areas of application, but also in the fidelity of the virtual models used to represent physical systems. This paper sheds light on the progress and evolution of the ADT framework and methodologies since 2011 through a systematic literature review. Based on this review, it is understood that the progress in ADT places the aerospace industry on a path towards achieving Structural Prognostics and Health Management (SPHM), nevertheless more work needs to be done. This paper proceeds on evaluating the remaining challenges in the development of the ADT for SPHM, particularly in the context of fatigue and corrosion as the main forms of structural degradation. Modelling of the environmental and operational conditions, multiphysics, and multiscale interactions are highlighted. A further review on the outlook for ADT in the civil aviation industry is presented through comparisons between current industrial regulations and the state-of-the-art in the scientific community, and focus areas for future works in developing the ADT for SPHM are identified.

A further review on the outlook for ADT in the civil aviation industry is presented through comparisons between current industrial regulations and the state-of-the-art in the scientific community, and focus areas for future works in developing the ADT for SPHM are identified.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Manufacturing Systems","volume":"77 ","pages":"Pages 398-417"},"PeriodicalIF":12.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142433129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the (re-)design of manufacturing systems, geometrical limitations on the available floor space may seriously impact the applicable resource configurations, including the selection of machines, robots, as well as auxiliary equipment. In current practice, such cases are managed by arduous manual iterations over the selection of resources and their geometrical arrangement. To overcome this inefficiency of existing approaches, the paper introduces a generic, integrated configuration-and-layout problem where the configuration sub-problem can encode arbitrary application-specific constraints on the selection of items (e.g., CNC machines and robots), while the layout sub-problem ensures geometrical feasibility, via a 2D rectangle packing representation. The generic model is demonstrated on an industrial application that involves the design of a flexible manufacturing system: items corresponding to CNC machines and robots must be selected, assigned to multiple manufacturing cells, and placed in the workshop blueprint to ensure that a given mix of products can be manufactured in the desired volume. For solving the generic configuration-and-layout problem, a logic-based Benders decomposition method is proposed. The efficiency of the approach is ensured by adding lifted cuts, symmetry breaking, and redundant constraints inspired by 2D bin packing lower bounds to the core Benders framework. Thorough computational evaluation is performed on a large set of problem instances, whereas practical applicability is verified in a real industrial case study.

The increased requests for value-added services to integrate product performance push manufacturing companies to extend their service offerings to meet customers’ needs. In this context, maintenance planning can leverage new possibilities offered by digital technologies for data analytics services. The present research then proposes an approach for maintenance plan adaptation based on a data-driven method applied over a fleet of machines installed in different production sites. The method relies on collaborative prognostics to develop a clustering of machines’ behaviour aimed at providing the health ratings of the machines and the subsequent maintenance plan adaptation due to the deviation from the expected behaviour. The method is adopted from the perspective of an Original Equipment Manufacturer, as part of a transformation path towards an advanced provision of digitalization for maintenance service offerings. The method is validated in the context of two lines at selected customer’s premises. This demonstrates the viability and effectiveness of adapting the maintenance plans thanks to the data analytics in light of the current behaviour of the machines within the lines.
