Virtual Engineering Factory: Creating Experience Base for Industry 4.0

ABSTRACT In recent times, traditional manufacturing is upgrading and adopting Industry 4.0, which supports computerization of manufacturing by round-the-clock connection and communication of engineering objects. Consequently, Decisional DNA-based knowledge representation of manufacturing objects, processes, and system is achieved by virtual engineering objects (VEO), virtual engineering processes (VEP), and virtual engineering factories (VEF), respectively. In this study, assimilation of VEO-VEP-VEF concept in the Cyber-physical system-based Industry 4.0 is proposed. The planned concept is implemented on a case study. Also, Decisional DNA features such as similarity identification and phenotyping are explored for validation. It is concluded that this approach can support Industry 4.0 and can facilitate in real time critical, creative, and effective decision making.
