Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Industry 4.0 is an emerging area in smart manufacturing, which aims to generate more sustainable and efficient industries. Many sectors, such as aerospace, health, and automobiles, require proper monitoring during the manufacturing process to produce high-quality and reliable products. Industry 4.0 adds an intelligent perspective to traditional manufacturing.

The smart manufacturing approach provides valuable insights into manufacturing processes and equipment. In manufacturing industries, unplanned downtime occurs due to the degradation of the system, causing component or equipment failure. Predicting the useful life of components is essential to avoid the unplanned downtime of machines.

Accurately predicting the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of equipment is challenging due to the varying operating conditions across different industries. Therefore, predictive maintenance has gained the attention of many researchers who aim to improve the prediction accuracy of models estimating the RUL of equipment.

This Special Issue will focus on advancements in manufacturing related to monitoring and prediction in order to enhance the useful life of industrial machines and equipment, improving the quality of the end product. 

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

  • Digital manufacturing;
  • Advanced sensing, sensor fusion, and analysis;
  • Multi-sensor data fusion;
  • Data-driven, model-based, or hybrid methods for industrial maintenance;
  • Machine vision;
  • Remaining Useful Life estimation;
  • Inferring quality and fault localization;
  • Predictive and risk-based maintenance practices;
  • Vibration Damping during machining and other operations;
  • Additive manufacturing;
  • Machine Learning and Deep Learning in Manufacturing;
  •  Digital twin

Since unqualified products cause enterprise revenue losses, product inspection is essential for maintaining manufacturing quality. An automated optical inspection (AOI) system is an efficient tool for product inspection, providing a convenient interface for users to view their products of interest. Specifically, in the screw manufacturing industry, the conventional methods are the human visual inspection of the product and for the inspector to view the product image displayed on the dashboard of the AOI system. However, despite the inspector and the approach used, inspection results strongly depend on the inspector’s experience. Moreover, machine learning algorithms could improve the efficiency of human visual inspection, thus addressing the above problem. Based on these facts, we improved anomaly detection efficiency during product inspection, using product image data from the AOI system to obtain valuable information. This study notably used the visual geometry group network, Inception V3, and Xception algorithms to detect qualified and unqualified products during product image analytics. Therefore, we considered that the analyzed results could be integrated into a proposed cloud system for human–machine interaction. Thus, administrators can receive reminders concerning the anomaly-inspected notification through the proposed cloud system, comprising a message queuing telemetry transport protocol, an application programming interface, and a cloud dashboard. From the experimental results, the above-mentioned algorithms had more than 93% accuracy, especially Xception, which had a better performance during the defective type classification. From our study, the proposed system can successfully apply the obtained data in data communication, anomaly dashboards, and anomaly notifications. Full article

With the development of information technology, it has become increasingly important to use intelligent algorithms to diagnose mechanical equipment faults based on vibration signals of rolling bearings. However, with the application of high-performance sensors in the Internet of Things, the complexity of real-time classification of multichannel, multidimensional sensor signals is increasing. In view of the need for intelligent methods for fault diagnosis methods of mechanical equipment, the generalization ability of fault diagnosis models also needs to be further strengthened. In this context, in order to make fault diagnosis intelligent and efficient, a bearing fault diagnosis method based on spectrum map information fusion and convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed. First, short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is used to analyze the multichannel vibration signal of the rolling bearing and obtain the frequency domain information of the signal over a period of time. Second, the information fusion is converted into two-dimensional (2D) images, which are input into CNN for training, and the bearing fault identification model is obtained. Next, the frequency domain information of each signal is converted into a 2D spectrum map, which is used as a CNN training dataset to train a bearing fault identification model. Finally, the diagnostic model is validated using the existing datasets. The results show that the accuracy of fault diagnosis using the proposed bearing is greater than 99.4% and can even reach 100%. The proposed method considerably reduces the workload of the diagnosis process, with strong robustness and generalization ability. Full article
