Industry 4.0 technologies: Implementation patterns in manufacturing companies
A. Frank, Lucas Santos Dalenogare, N. F. Ayala
Abstract Industry 4.0 has been considered a new industrial stage in which several emerging technologies are converging to provide digital solutions. However, there is a lack of understanding of how companies implement these technologies. Thus, we aim to understand the adoption patterns of Industry 4.0 technologies in manufacturing firms. We propose a conceptual framework for these technologies, which we divided into front-end and base technologies. Front-end technologies consider four dimensions: Smart Manufacturing, Smart Products, Smart Supply Chain and Smart Working, while base technologies consider four elements: internet of things, cloud services, big data and analytics. We performed a survey in 92 manufacturing companies to study the implementation of these technologies. Our findings show that Industry 4.0 is related to a systemic adoption of the front-end technologies, in which Smart Manufacturing plays a central role. Our results also show that the implementation of the base technologies is challenging companies, since big data and analytics are still low implemented in the sample studied. We propose a structure of Industry 4.0 technology layers and we show levels of adoption of these technologies and their implication for manufacturing companies.

S. Nahavandi
Staying at the top is getting tougher and more challenging due to the fast-growing and changing digital technologies and AI-based solutions. The world of technology, mass customization, and advanced manufacturing is experiencing a rapid transformation. Robots are becoming even more important as they can now be coupled with the human mind by means of brain–machine interface and advances in artificial intelligence. A strong necessity to increase productivity while not removing human workers from the manufacturing industry is imposing punishing challenges on the global economy. To counter these challenges, this article introduces the concept of Industry 5.0, where robots are intertwined with the human brain and work as collaborator instead of competitor. This article also outlines a number of key features and concerns that every manufacturer may have about Industry 5.0. In addition, it presents several developments achieved by researchers for use in Industry 5.0 applications and environments. Finally, the impact of Industry 5.0 on the manufacturing industry and overall economy is discussed from an economic and productivity point of view, where it is argued that Industry 5.0 will create more jobs than it will take away.
Digital Twins and Cyber–Physical Systems toward Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0: Correlation and Comparison
F. Tao, Qinglin Qi, Lihui Wang
et al.
Abstract State-of-the-art technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing (CC), big data analytics (BDA), and artificial intelligence (AI) have greatly stimulated the development of smart manufacturing. An important prerequisite for smart manufacturing is cyber–physical integration, which is increasingly being embraced by manufacturers. As the preferred means of such integration, cyber–physical systems (CPS) and digital twins (DTs) have gained extensive attention from researchers and practitioners in industry. With feedback loops in which physical processes affect cyber parts and vice versa, CPS and DTs can endow manufacturing systems with greater efficiency, resilience, and intelligence. CPS and DTs share the same essential concepts of an intensive cyber–physical connection, real-time interaction, organization integration, and in-depth collaboration. However, CPS and DTs are not identical from many perspectives, including their origin, development, engineering practices, cyber–physical mapping, and core elements. In order to highlight the differences and correlation between them, this paper reviews and analyzes CPS and DTs from multiple perspectives.

A Maturity Model for Assessing Industry 4.0 Readiness and Maturity of Manufacturing Enterprises
Andreas Schumacher, Selim Erol, W. Sihn
Abstract Manufacturing enterprises are currently facing substantial challenges with regard to disruptive concepts such as the Internet of Things, Cyber Physical Systems or Cloud-based Manufacturing – also referred to as Industry 4.0. Subsequently, increasing complexity on all firm levels creates uncertainty about respective organizational and technological capabilities and adequate strategies to develop them. In this paper we propose an empirically grounded novel model and its implementation to assess the Industry 4.0 maturity of industrial enterprises in the domain of discrete manufacturing. Our main goal was to extend the dominating technology focus of recently developed models by including organizational aspects. Overall we defined 9 dimensions and assigned 62 items to them for assessing Industry 4.0 maturity. The dimensions “Products”, “Customers”, “Operations” and “Technology” have been created to assess the basic enablers. Additionally, the dimensions “Strategy”, “Leadership”, Governance, “Culture” and “People” allow for including organizational aspects into the assessment. Afterwards, the model has been transformed into a practical tool and tested in several companies whereby one case is presented in the paper. First validations of the model's structure and content show that the model is transparent and easy to use and proved its applicability in real production environments.

Today, several metallic materials including the important engineering materials steel, aluminium and titanium may be processed to full dense parts with outstanding properties. In this context, the present overview article describes the complex relationship between AM processes, microstructure and resulting properties for metals. It explains the fundamentals of Laser Beam Melting, Electron Beam Melting and Laser Metal Deposition, and introduces the commercially available materials for the different processes. Thereafter, typical microstructures for additively manufactured steel, aluminium and titanium are presented. Special attention is paid to AM specific grain structures, resulting from the complex thermal cycle and high cooling rates. The properties evolving as a consequence of the microstructure are elaborated under static and dynamic loading. According to these properties, typical applications are presented for the materials and methods for conclusion.

The dual role of Mg in LPBF-processed high-strength AlMnScZr alloys: strengthening and thermal softening mechanisms
Dan Li, Yaoqin Gan, Feng Li
et al.
The dual roles of Mg in the room-temperature strengthening and high-temperature softening of LPBF-Processed AlMnScZr alloys are systematically elucidated. The addition of Mg promotes compositional supercooling during solidification, transforming the as-built columnar grains of the Mg-free alloy into a refined bimodal structure comprising alternating coarse and fine equiaxed regions. Mg also accelerates the formation of primary Al6Mn precipitates, increasing their size from ∼43.7 nm in the Mg-free alloy to 54.0 and 114.6 nm in alloys containing 1.5 and 3.5 wt.% Mg, respectively. During aging, Mg addition significantly enhances the dispersion and number density of secondary Al6Mn particles, while exerting negligible influence on the formation of nanoscale Al3(Sc, Zr) precipitates (∼3 nm). The synergistic effects of solid-solution strengthening, precipitation hardening, and grain refinement yield superior room-temperature properties, achieving ultimate tensile strengths of 538 MPa (1.5 wt.% Mg) and 626 MPa (3.5 wt.% Mg). However, Mg addition also accelerates thermal softening in the AlMnScZr alloy. For instance, the yield strength at 300 °C drops to 108 MPa in the 3.5 wt.% Mg alloy, compared to 198 MPa in the base alloy. This strength loss is identified as being due to Mg-promoted coarsening of Al6Mn particles during thermal exposure.
Visualising fibre path and generating G-code for melt electrowriting of tubular scaffolds using Grasshopper software
Kelly L. O’Neill, Taite McLoughlin, Georgia Van der Linden
et al.
Melt electrowriting (MEW) produces high-resolution, highly porous microfibre scaffolds that are consistently replicable. While typically used to produce planar scaffolds, tubular microfibre structures are increasingly needed for tissue engineering (TE) applications (e.g. vascular TE). Designing such microfibre tubes is challenging due to the continuous fibre deposition required by MEW, and the difficulty of coding a three-dimensional geometry without the ability to previsualise it. This study introduces a new design approach that simplifies programming, provides a digital scaffold preview, and rapidly generates G-code iterations in AeroBasic script (compatible with Aerotech axis system) by using Rhinoceros, a well-known CAD 3D modelling software, and its built-in algorithmic design plugin, Grasshopper. The resulting 1 and 3 mm inner diameter MEW tubes consisted of fibre diameters 10.8 ± 0.7 µm or 20.7 ± 0.9 µm and matched the programmed design. This visual prototyping platform through Rhinoceros and Grasshopper offers a new method in predicting fibre paths and incorporating scaffold design parameters, meeting the need for diverse tubular scaffolds in different fields. In this study, we investigate whether a digital preview of tubular scaffolds and corresponding G-code generation system can enhance the accuracy and efficiency of designing tubular microfibre scaffolds for biofabrication applications.
Generative adversarial network–enabled microstructural mapping from surface profiles for laser powder bed fusion
Jingwen Gao, Chenyang Zhu, Shubo Gao
et al.
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is the dominant metal additive manufacturing technique due to its advantages in near-net-shape production of complex parts with high resolution. However, conventional quality control of LPBF-fabricated parts, including microstructure characterisation, often relies on trial-and-error experiments. These methods can be time-consuming, resource-intensive, and potentially destructive to specimens. This study introduces an image-to-image translation Cycle-consistent Generative Adversarial Network (CycleGAN)-based framework for generating statistically equivalent microstructures of LPBF-fabricated samples directly from corresponding as-printed surface inputs. The results demonstrate that the framework can effectively generate crystallographic and morphological features across 22 different process parameters for LPBF-fabricated pure nickel. The distribution of microstructural descriptors, such as grain size, grain shape, and even grain boundary misorientation angles, shows no significant difference from that measured by experiments. The generated microstructural mapping using image inputs with CycleGAN outperforms those from other generation methods on both qualitative and quantitative evaluations. The developed framework is material-agnostic and can be fine-tuned for other LPBF materials via transfer learning, providing potential applications in in-situ process optimisation and microstructure design in LPBF manufacturing.
