“…There are four general emerging categories of new generation factories that use different levers of Industry 4.0 value, but with different emphasis depending on the demand segment and the needs to which they relate. Four types of future factories can be distinguished [7,14]…”

“…The use of the latest technologies in this type of factory allows to increase work safety, elements of this technology can replace the manual process at a certain stage of the production process, in which a person is much less effective than a robot or the performed activity may endanger human health, an example may be a robotic paint shop in factories automotive industry. Technology support greatly facilitates the organization of work and the circulation of information, and thus reduces production time and allows you to maintain the highest quality product to satisfy even the most demanding customers [14,20,24].…”

AbstractOver the last few years, the Industry 4.0 concept (called the Fourth Industrial Revolution) has attracted attention among both academics and practitioners. Industry 4.0 is a very broad domain including production processes, efficiency, data management, relationship with consumers, competitiveness, and much more. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to present new factory archetypes. The manuscript uses a synthesis of literature (scientific studies and industrial reports). Based on the results obtained, the archetypes of factories of Industry 4.0 are described. The presented manuscript contributes to the development of literature on the concept of Industry 4.0. The results obtained from the analysis of the literature not only summarize the existing knowledge about Smart Factories, but also indicate the directions of potential research.

Metal foundry, despite the progressing process of implementing new production technologies -still belongs to the fields characterized by a significant level of occupational risk. In metal foundries there is a significant concentration of harmful and arduous factors at many workplaces. The degree of work safety depends, among others, on the technology, raw materials and technical equipment used. The paper presents an analysis of the accident rate based on statistical data extended by own research and results obtained from the conducted expert interview. Based on the results obtained, the most important factors harmful to health were defined and an analysis of the causes of accidents at work in foundries was carried out. Ensuring adequate in terms of quality and safety is an important element of the management process not only in the purely human dimension but also in the economic dimension.

“…Nevertheless, this work includes no reference to the use of RPA protocols. The only applications of RPA connected to IoT technology in the literature are mainly focused on the system connection together with artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, and blockchain [49,[70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77].…”

Using RPA for Performance Monitoring of Dynamic SHM Applications

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a source of growing applications in a number of industries both as an individual technology and as a complement to other technologies (such as Internet of Things (IoT)). RPA allows the automation of human activities on a computer, especially when these activities are repetitive and high in volume. RPA saves man-hours and increases the productive capacity of the processes. The application of RPA in civil engineering is still in its early stages, and there has been little work on the subject in the literature. This paper presents RPA technology, for the first time in the literature, as a long-term management, control, and auto fault correction process for a low-cost accelerometer that can be used in SHM applications. However, this process requires a significant number of man-hours to stay operational, given the architecture of its applications. With the application of an RPA implementation workflow formulated based on the Design Science Research Method (DSRM), the management and control of the data acquisition process of a low-cost accelerometer located on a structural column are automated and put into operation in this study. RPA also made it possible to automatically detect and notify users of errors in the process, restart the process, and bring the process back online every time errors occurred. In this way, an automated process was obtained that operated continually and freed up human labour.
