Standard Data-Based Predictive Modeling for Power Consumption in Turning Machining

February 26, 2018
Author(s)
Seungjun Shin, Jungyub Woo, Sudarsan Rachuri, Prita Meilanitasari
In the metal cutting industry, power consumption is an important metric in the analysis of energy efficiency since it relates to energy consumption of machine tools. Much of the research has developed predictive models that correlate process planning

Manufacturing and Contract Service Networks: Composition, Optimization and Tradeoff Analysis based on a Reusable Repository of Performance Models

January 15, 2018
Author(s)
Alexander Brodsky, Mohan Krishnamoorthy, Mohomad O. Nachawati, William Z. Bernstein, Daniel A. Menasce
In this paper we report on the development of a software framework and system for composition, optimization and trade-off analysis of manufacturing and contract service networks based on a reusable repository of performance models. Performance models

Research directions for an open unit manufacturing process repository: A collaborative vision

December 20, 2017

William Z. Bernstein, Arun Bala Subramaniyan, Alexander Brodsky, Ian C. Garretson, Karl Haapala, Donald E. Libes, Katherine C. Morris, Rong Pan, Vittaldas Prabhu, Arkopaul Sarkar, Arvind Shankar Raman, Zhenhua Wu
The design of manufacturing systems can see dramatic improvements through the use of digital technologies for modeling and simulation prior to deployment. At the 2017 ASME International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference held jointly with the

Environmental KPI Selection Using Criteria Value and Demonstration

September 7, 2017
Author(s)
Shaw C. Feng, Deogratias Kibira
Determining key performance indicators (KPI) is a first step in achieving environmen-tal sustainability of manufacturing operations. KPI selection is a multi-criteria decision making problem, because of various criteria that must be considered. Intuitively

MANUFACTURING DATA ANALYTICS USING A VIRTUAL FACTORY REPRESENTATION

July 6, 2017
Author(s)
Sanjay Jain, Guodong Shao, Seungjun Shin
Manufacturing organizations are able to accumulate large amounts of plant floor production and environmental data due to advances in data collection, communications technology, and use of standards. Data analytics can help understand and gain insights from

PROCEDURE FOR DEVELOPING KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING

June 8, 2017
Author(s)
Shaw C. Feng, Deogratias Kibira, Michael P. Brundage, Katherine C. Morris
The need for an open, inclusive, and neutral procedure for developing key performance indicators (KPIs) has been increasing as manufacturers seek to determine what to measure in order to improve environmental sustainability of their products and

An Open Web-Based Repository for Capturing Manufacturing Process Information

December 1, 2016
Author(s)
William Z. Bernstein, Mahesh Mani, Katherine C. Morris, Kevin W. Lyons, Bjoern J. Johansson
With recent progress in developing more effective models for representing manufacturing processes, this paper presents an approach towards an open web-based repository for storing manufacturing process information. The repository is envisioned to include

STANDARD REPRESENTATIONS FOR CHARACTERIZATION OF INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES

October 1, 2016
Author(s)
Mahesh Mani, Jon Larborn, Bjoern J. Johansson, Kevin W. Lyons, Katherine C. Morris
This paper describes ASTM’s new guide for characterizing the environmental aspects of manufacturing processes (ASTM WK35705). The guide defines a generic representation to support structured information. Representations of multiple unit manufacturing

Morphology-insensitive Performance Facilitates Transition from Spin-Coating to Roll-to-Roll Coating For High-Performance, Solution-Processed Solar Cells

August 2, 2016
Author(s)
Lee J. Richter, Jonathan Downing, Sebastian Engmann, Hyun W. Ro, Andrew A. Herzing, Dean M. DeLongchamp, Subhrangsu Mukherjee, Harald Ade, Maged Addelsamie, Aram Amassian, Yuhang Liu, He Yan
Solution processing via roll-to-roll (R2R) coating promises a low cost, low thermal-budget, sustainable revolution for the production of solar cells. Yet virtually all high performance solution processed research cells have been demonstrated by spin

Understanding sustainability data through unit manufacturing process representations: a case study on stone production

May 24, 2016
Author(s)
Bjoern J. Johansson, Mahesh Mani, William Z. Bernstein, Kevin W. Lyons, KC Morris, Laurie Rebouillat, Ilaria Barletta
Efficiency of natural stone production processes in quarries directly affects the economic output and environmental performances, such as production lead times and energy consumptions. Knowledge on stone production processes is crucial in making

Standards Landscape and Directions for Smart Manufacturing Systems

August 24, 2015
Author(s)
Yan Lu, Katherine C. Morris, Simon P. Frechette
The future of manufacturing lies in being able to adapt quickly to changing conditions. From smaller lot sizes, to more customization, to sudden changes in supply chain, the variability that manufacturers face is rapidly increasing. The key to enabling
