“…In the light of shrinking life cycles and intense mass customisation that tend to fragment and reduce order quantities and life cycle profits, intelligent and versatile machines are the strength of the agile factory. This is because reproduction costs of products manufactured by intelligent machines are not volume sensitive (Ramesh, Jyothirmai, and Lavanya 2013). Intelligent automation requires a strategy in order to enhance its adoption (Iakymenko, Alfnes, and Thomassen 2016;Kirk and Tebaldi 1997;Molina et al 2005).…”

Academics and practitioners have long acknowledged the importance of agile manufacturing and related supply chains in achieving firm sustainable competitiveness. However, limited, if any, research has focused on the evolution of practices within agile manufacturing supply chains and how these are related to competitive performance objectives. To address this gap, we reviewed the literature on an agile manufacturing drawing on the evolution of manufacturing agility, attributes of agile manufacturing, the drivers of agile manufacturing, and the identification of the enabling competencies deployable for agile manufacturing. Our thesis is that agile manufacturing is at the centre of achieving a sustainable competitive advantage, especially in light of current unprecedented market instability coupled with complex customer requirements. In this regard, the emphasis which agile manufacturing places on responsive adaptability would counter the destabilising influence of competitive pressures on organisations performance criteria. We have identified five enabling competencies as the agility enablers and practices of agile manufacturing, that is, transparent customisation, agile supply chains, intelligent automation, total employee empowerment and technology integration, and further explored their joint deployment to create positive multiplier effects. Future research directions were also provided with respect to the operationalisation of the five identified enablers and the potential for emergent technologies of big data, blockchain, and Internet of Things to shape future agile manufacturing practices.

“…OMAC is selected as the platform for a HIT-CNC system. R Ramesh et al [2] proposed a scheme for building intelligent system into machine tools based on Open Architecture Controller Platform which can handle various tasks like decision making and it will act in accordance with Rapid-CAM system to convert the designed model into a machined component. Authors found the task of data sharing between servo loop and logic control as an intricate job.…”

The Open Architecture concept is gaining more attention because of growing demand from end users. Numerical Control systems are limited in terms of portability because they are dependent on vendor-specific environment, to overcome this limitation Open Architecture Control was introduced. Open Architecture improves portability, interoperability, scalability and ability to reconfigure of an existing CNC machine. Open control system increases the flexibility of CNC machine by allowing vendor-neutral environment. Open Architecture Controller allows the end user to modify the existing system by integrating components from different manufacturers which reduce cost as well as increase extendibility of the system. In this review paper, different initiatives and developments on Open Architecture Controller are presented. This paper also covers the approaches made by researchers in the field of simulation of table movement in CNC machine.

“…However, for an Execution System to function it must integrate with the automated control systems that run the plant floor and the ERP to exchange information with management. With this, real-time data can be implemented to allow Execution of Manufacturing System to report and respond to plant activities as they occur, resulting in rapid response to changing conditions [9].…”

This paper shows a framework of the different techniques for the design of the planning and governing components, implementation, Evolution and execution of an intelligent manufacturing system. Architecture of a modern manufacturing industry is presented, which makes possible to create specific manufactrons system for the specific tasks, depending on the self-operated analysis of its essential characteristics. The manufactronic industry concept helps in the integration of intelligence and to increase flexibility at the maximum level of the manufacturing system as well as at the minimum level of the particular machine. This concept is implemented & demonstrated in the automobile and aeronautical industries, but can be simply applied to nearly all manufacturing industries. Implementation of manufactronic techniques in the industries helps to forecast and to fulfill the rapidly varying customer requirements, to produce high quality products in sufficient quantities with reduction in costs. The Modern IntelligenceTechnologies are also presented in this paper.
