As explored in this article, maintenance operations are a gateway to building smart factories. Predictive maintenance is taking off. By detecting symptoms of imminent equipment failure on production lines from slight vibration or other changes, manufacturers can take action before it's too late. This thinking can now be extended to proactive yield and quality management.
Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has codeveloped a tough and small RFID module that can be embedded into tires through close cooperation with Michelin. This module will bring about innovation in the tire business by managing the usage situation over the entire life cycle of tires – from their production to their disposal.
A cyber-physical system (CPS), which is the core information system of future factories aiming to be smart factories, is built by concentrating together IoT, AI, big data analysis, industrial networks, and other advanced information technologies. It is an information system occupying the core in the implementation of digital transformation (DX) in the manufacturing industry that draws a clear distinction with mere process automation by conventional factory automation (FA).
We give an explanation here about digital transformation (DX) in the manufacturing industry – business reform that utilizes digital technology in the manufacturing industry. The approach to business reform is gradually becoming more sophisticated with visualization, optimization, automation, and autonomy in DX in the manufacturing industry. The scope of the application of that is also expanding to systems, factories, companies, and supply chains.
An introduction to electronics technology, a field for which there are high expectations amid the accelerating shift toward alternative energy worldwide.
Bringing humans and machines even closer with sensors and AI
Wearable sensors and image recognition technology now make it possible to see exactly how experts work. In this section, we introduce some examples of how expert skills can be passed on to the next generation, and how work can be automated.
One of the issues facing the logistics industry in recent years is loss of pallets. We showcase the utilization of IoT technology to solve the problem of losing logistics pallets in this article.
The number of companies, especially startups, involved in femtech is increasing around the world. It is predicted that the size of the femtech market in Japan will reach about 2 trillion yen in 2025.
