Towards industrial internet of things: Crankshaft monitoring, traceability and tracking using RFID

Abstract

Abstract-The large number of requirements and opportunities for automatic identification in manufacturing domains such as automotive and electronics has accelerated the demand for item-level tracking using radio-frequency identification technology. End-users are interested in implementing automatic identification systems, which are capable of ensuring full component process history, traceability and tracking preventing costly downtime to rectify processing defects and product recalls. The research outlined in this paper investigates the feasibility of implementing an RFID system for the manufacturing and assembly of crankshafts. The proposed solution involves the attachment of bolts with embedded RFID functionality by fitting a reader antenna reader to an overhead gantry that spans the production line and reads and writes production data to the tags. The manufacturing, assembly and service data captured through RFID tags and stored on a local server, could further be integrated with higher-level business applications facilitating seamless integration within the factory.

A Framework for Smart Production-Logistics Systems Based on CPS and Industrial IoT

“…The emergence of advanced technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT) [1], cloud manufacturing (CMfg) [2], cyber-physical systems (CPS) [3]- [5], and service-oriented technology (SOT) [6], has provided several promising opportunities to address the aforementioned challenges. The rapid development and widespread use of industrial IoT (IIoT) technology in manufacturing industry greatly promote information progress in real-time monitoring, traceability, tracking, transparency, and interaction [7]. Real-time and multi-source manufacturing data generated by embedded devices and sensors have been used to perform operation optimization and decision-making [8].…”

Standardizing Innovation Management: An Opportunity for SMEs in the Aerospace Industry

“…Very few studies have covered other essential issues for SMEs, like quality improvement [88] or R+D+i management [56]. Therefore, qualitative research seems especially suited for the first exploratory research on how SMEs can design, implement and benefit from R+D+i management systems.…”

Introducing a Novel Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Algorithm to Optimize Network of Industrial Applications in Modern Manufacturing

“…In recent years with advances in technology, the IoT has started to adopt and utilize a new technology called Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), which is continuously increasing its market share, replacing traditional barcode technology and allowing the development of new applications [31].…”

“…RFID technology can be defined as a powerful innovative gadget which has been adopted in the development of the IoT [31]. RFID technology, as an application in the IoT, with accepted standards across industries, has been widely adopted in different manufacturing industry sections, such as supply chain management, smart manufacturing, home automation industry, and intelligent shopping (see Figure 2).…”
