dc.description.abstract |
The world is now witnessing the 4th industrial
revolution technology and this is commonly known as Industry
4.0. This study focuses on developing a prototype to demonstrate
the smart production line by using Industry 4.0 elements for
apparel manufacturing which captures the cycle times of
garment assembly operations and balance workloads. As the key
elements. Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing and Big
data were involved to convert a traditional assembly line to a
smart assembly line. The developed prototype allows to capture
cycle times of operations and sends those data to a cloud through
a wireless network. The data stored in the cloud compute the
required arithmetic to draw Yamazumi work balance chart
which is dynamically updated without human intervention. A
computer client application attached to the cloud act as a
decision support system which helps production management to
make decisions efficiently. As the special features, the proposed
system is also compatible with walking worker production lines
where operators are moving from one workstation to another,
which also captures actual utilization of the worker at different
workstations along the production line which is harder to
capture accurately in the actual production scenario. |
