- Week 1: Industry 4.0 overview
- Basic networking concepts
1. IoT Architecture for Industry
Perception Layer (Devices): Sensors (temperature, vibration, pressure), actuators, RFID tags, cameras. This is where data originates.
Network Layer (Connectivity): Wi-Fi, 5G, Bluetooth, LPWAN (LoRa, NB-IoT), industrial Ethernet (Profinet, EtherCAT). Select based on range, bandwidth, power, and latency requirements.
Application Layer (Processing): Edge computing (real-time), fog computing (local aggregation), cloud computing (analytics, storage, dashboards).
2. Smart Manufacturing Components
- Smart Sensors: MEMS sensors, smart cameras, IoT-enabled gauges
- PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers): Real-time machine control
- SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition): Centralized monitoring
- MES (Manufacturing Execution System): Production tracking and scheduling
- ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning): Business-level planning
3. Facility Layout Types
- Product Layout: Assembly line (high volume, standardized products like cars)
- Process Layout: Grouped by function (hospitals, machine shops)
- Fixed Position Layout: Product stays stationary, resources move (aircraft, ships)
- Group Technology (Cellular): Combines product and process for families of parts
Q1: What is the role of IoT in smart manufacturing?IoT enables real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, quality control, and supply chain optimization through connected sensors that collect and transmit data. Q2: Compare product layout and process layout.Product layout: sequential arrangement, high volume, low flexibility. Process layout: functional grouping, low volume, high flexibility. Q3: What is the difference between PLC and SCADA?PLC controls specific machines in real-time. SCADA provides centralized monitoring and control across multiple PLCs over a wider area. Q4: How does 5G enable Industry 4.0?Ultra-low latency (1ms), high reliability, massive device density (1M devices/km2), network slicing for different applications. Q5: What is an MES and how is it different from ERP?MES tracks production in real-time (work orders, quality, machine status). ERP handles business planning (inventory, finance, HR). MES bridges the gap between ERP and shop floor. Join Discord PreviousIntroduction to Industry 4.0NextBig Data & Analytics in Industry
