Distributed Sensors Array for Composite Materials Manufacturing Quality Assurance

摘要

The paper describes a cyber-physical approach to resolve the automation of quality and reliability enforcement in a manufacturing environment. The approach is based on an architecture of distributed sensors array connected to a local minicomputer, which further communicates using a secured internet connection with an industry 4.0 facilitator hub. The proposed architecture creates an extensible framework to support multi-domain requirements. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated in the case of a composite materials manufacturing installation.
