The Ethical Use of Human Data for Smart Manufacturing: An Analysis and Discussion

摘要

Much of the recent work in the field of smart manufacturing is dependent on a data-driven approach, with an increasing number of data-hungry techniques being introduced to improve the adaptability and productivity of manufacturing systems. More recently, the collection and use of data generated by employees and individuals has become the source of controversy at both a corporate and societal level. This work presents an analysis of current thoughts and considerations on the use and misuse of data from a number of standpoints and discusses a methodology that enables appropriate parameterization of human performance for use in modelling and simulation for smart manufacturing.
