Sustainability characterization of manufacturing processes is key to the inventory data development for life cycle analysis of products and processes in manufacturing industries. The ability of an organization to compare and contrast this sustainability
This document provides product and manufacturing information (PMI) EXPRESS models to be used in ISO 10303-242 edition 2. The models include representations for the following PMI symbology: thread symbols, surface texture symbols, edge condition symbols
This paper provides a brief assessment of the metrics for measuring probability, degree, and severity of collisions as applied to autonomous and intelligent systems. Though not exhaustive, this survey evaluates the state-of-the-art of collision metrics

Sustainable manufacturing has significant impact on a companys business performance and competitiveness in todays world. A growing number of manufacturing industries are initiating efforts to address sustainability issues; however, to achieve a higher
In this paper, we advocate for a more harmonized approach to model development for additive manufacturing (AM) processes, through classification and metamodeling that will support AM process model composability, reusability, and integration. We review

This paper is focused on decision analytics for smart manufacturing. We consider temporal manufacturing processes with stochastic throughput and inventories. We demonstrate the use of the recently proposed concept of the decision guidance analytics
Recent advances in machine automation and sensing technology offer new opportunities for continuous condition monitoring of an operating machine. This paper describes an intelligent machine monitoring framework that integrates and utilizes data collection
Engineering and enterprise processes overlap in their concerns, for example, coordinating product design and customer relations. Integration of these processes provides more efficient communication and higher quality results than leaving them separated

Additive Manufacturing (AM) provides great potential for industrial manufacturers who require low volume and functional, highly complex end use products. Given AM's potential, numerous research efforts are underway to reduce the time and improve the
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) requires robust solutions for representing and integrating product data models. Product data models enable information exchange across different organizations, actors, processes and stages in the product lifecycle. In
Using uniaxial tensile and hardness testing, we evaluated the variability and anisotropy of the mechanical properties of an austenitic stainless steel, UNS S17400, manufactured by an additive process, selective laser melting. Like wrought materials, the

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is developing a cybersecurity testbed for industrial control systems (ICS). The goal of this testbed is to measure the performance of an ICS when instrumented with cybersecurity protections in
Prognostics and health management (PHM) technologies reduce time and costs for maintenance of products or processes through efficient and cost-effective diagnostic and prognostic activities. These activities aim to provide actionable information to enable
This paper has two major goals. First, we present an algorithm for establishing planar datums suitable for a default in tolerancing standards. The algorithm is based on a constrained minimization search based on the L_1 (L1) norm after forming a convex

Current automated guided vehicle (AGV) technology typically provides material handling flow along single or dual opposing-flow lanes in manufacturing and distribution facilities. An AGV stops for most any obstacle that may be in its path which then stops
In manufacturing, an enormous amount of data, both real and simulation data, is being continuously generated. The appropriate information, if extracted from big data, could provide insights on increasing sustainability, productivity, flexibility, and
