“…Numerous contributions have been written on Industry 4.0 areas; however, the majority of them focus on the technical aspects in which human factors are commonly underestimated (Bhamare et al, 2020 ; Grandi et al, 2020 ; Pacaux-Lemoine et al, 2017 ; Peruzzini et al, 2019 ; Theuer et al, 2013 ). There is an increasing concern about how human factors are barely considered in design for products and/or services and poorly addressed in manufacturing, causing complex problems with often unknown consequences across different industrial contexts: nuclear accidents (Wu et al, 2016 ), market failures in new product development (García-Magro & Soriano-Pinar, 2019 ), robotic-surgery-related adversities (Varshney & Alemzadeh, 2017 ), technological accidents during machine manipulation (Pacaux-Lemoine et al, 2017 ), and interaction issues among humans and smart systems (Jung et al, 2017 ; Rogers et al, 2019 ; Streitz, 2019 ).…”

Human-centred design in industry 4.0: case study review and opportunities for future research

2021

The transition to industry 4.0 has impacted factories, but it also affects the entire value chain. In this sense, human-centred factors play a core role in transitioning to sustainable manufacturing processes and consumption. The awareness of human roles in Industry 4.0 is increasing, as evidenced by active work in developing methods, exploring influencing factors, and proving the effectiveness of design oriented to humans. However, numerous studies have been brought into existence but then disconnected from other studies. As a consequence, these studies in industry and research alike are not regularly adopted, and the network of studies is seemingly broad and expands without forming a coherent structure. This study is a unique attempt to bridge the gap through the literature characteristics and lessons learnt derived from a collection of case studies regarding human-centred design (HCD) in the context of Industry 4.0. This objective is achieved by a well-rounded systematic literature review whose special unit of analysis is given to the case studies, delivering contributions in three ways: (1) providing an insight into how the literature has evolved through the cross-disciplinary lens; (2) identifying what research themes associated with design methods are emerging in the field; (3) and setting the research agenda in the context of HCD in Industry 4.0, taking into account the lessons learnt, as uncovered by the in-depth review of case studies.

“…Intelligent production systems can reduce setup times, improve production planning, and decrease the frequency and severity of breakdowns, by gathering data and implementing responsive control strategies [6]. This is improved when these production systems have the capability of tracking and tracing objects, product control integrated with warehouse management systems, production monitoring and fast fault detection [6]. These intelligent production systems have led to the conceptualisation and development of distributed production intelligence and control leveraging their advantage of modularity, flexibility and reconfiguration.…”

“…A production system is a set of processes grouped together to achieve an outcome taking an input and passing the output through each processing stage [12]. These process stages may be a single production operation step producing a finished product or a group of associated processes [6]. In this sense, intelligence in production systems needs not only to be distributed but also scalable to accommodate part variation (due to feature requirements), and process changes at each production step [9].…”

The manufacturing of customised products is a driver in the trend of incorporating intelligence in the system. This intelligence is required to enable the system to self-configure processes to meet the requirements of unique products. This work deals with the quality testing phase in a production system. A method of controlling testing functionality for leak test process is presented utilising a multi-agent approach. A means of controlling agent execution by expressions is discussed. Two types of expressions; operational and conditional expressions are conceptualised. An experimental use case is demonstrated to validate the approach.

“…One of the improvement technique is Lean Manufacturing and this is based on continuous reduction of waste and increasing the quality of the products. Looking for more productivity, best quality, less time spent, less money invested, to obtain more revenues (Theuer et al, 2013;Holtskog, 2014).…”

The bakery industry has great economic and social importance in the city of Medellin; most of the companies are small with high levels of informality, low value added and productivity. Lean Manufacturing has become one of the most popular paradigms of waste disposal in the industrial sector and services, with great benefits of their practice on the improvement of the quality and organizational productivity. This work evaluates the level of implementation of the lean manufacturing techniques in the micro and small enterprises in Medellin, in the food sector. It was using diagnostic and follow-up tools with questionnaire to the production chief, which include 9 techniques or tools, and a variable of administration that allow organizations to a guide, to improve the current conditions of productivity. The main results show that the outstanding Lean practices are: PokaYoke, Kaizen and visual factory. However, for which the sector is considered to be of world class, the practices must be strengthened: VSM (generation of value), JIT (Production Flow) and ADMON (Administration). In addition, organizations must increase sales least 139, 20% to increase the level of efficiency of the sector, without changing the number of employees.
