The Conversion Of Manual Machining Equipment Into Smart, Connected Systems With Real-Time Monitoring And Issue Identification Capabilities, David Lee Williams
The Conversion Of Manual Machining Equipment Into Smart, Connected Systems With Real-Time Monitoring And Issue Identification Capabilities, David Lee Williams
Theses and Dissertations
With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution, information technology and manufacturing systems are merging to form what is now known as Smart Manufacturing. However, with this newer technology being integrated with newer pieces of machining equipment, companies with legacy equipment occasionally are in a bind since these machines were not designed or built with the fundamental components of smart manufacturing systems: unified connectivity, real-time monitoring, and issue identification. The purpose of this research is to provide a solution for converting manual machining equipment into smart systems with these fundamental components of smart manufacturing. The pieces of equipment that were …
Complexity Of Establishing Industrial Connectivity For Small And Medium Manufacturers With And Without Use Of Industrial Innovation Platforms, Brian Dale Russell
Complexity Of Establishing Industrial Connectivity For Small And Medium Manufacturers With And Without Use Of Industrial Innovation Platforms, Brian Dale Russell
Theses and Dissertations
The manufacturing industry is continuously evolving as new practices and technology are adopted to improve productivity and remain competitive. There have been three well established manufacturing revolutions in recent history and some say that the fourth is occurring currently by the name of Smart Manufacturing, Indusrie 4.0, and others. This latest manufacturing revolution is highly dependent on industrial connectivity. This research aims to gage the ability of Industrial Innovation Platforms (IIPs) to reduce complexity of implementing base-line industrial connectivity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The results of this study would be especially relevant to decision makers in industrial SMEs …

Implementing An Iiot Core System For Simulated Intelligent Manufacturing In An Educational Environment, Andrew Craig Nemrow
Theses and Dissertations
In this new digital age, efficiency, quality and competition are all increasing rapidly as companies leverage the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). However, while industrial innovation moves at a faster and faster pace, educational institutions have lagged in the development of the curriculum and environment needed to support further development of the IIoT. To fully realize the potential of the IIoT in the manufacturing sector educational institutions must support the technological training and education rigor demanded to instill the skills and thought leadership to move the industry forward. The purpose of this research is to provide an IIoT core system …
