This report summarizes the results from the OAGi/NIST Workshop on Open Cloud Architecture for Smart Manufacturing, which was held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology on May 5, 2015. The workshop was a forum for manufacturers and providers

End-to-end Demonstration of the Quality Information Framework (QIF) Standard at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2014

March 15, 2016
Author(s)
Hui-Min Huang, John L. Michaloski, Daniel Campbell, Robert Stone, Thomas Kramer, Curtis Brown, Robert Brown, Gavrai Tatarliev, William Sobel, Lyle Fischer
The "Silos of Quality" in manufacturing can be described as the proliferation of customized quality languages for different stages of production. This quality "tower of babel" results in excessive translations causing loss of information, reduction of

Testing the Digital Thread in Support of Model-Based Manufacturing and Inspection

March 8, 2016
Author(s)
Thomas D. Hedberg, Joshua Lubell, Lyle Fischer, Larry Maggiano, Allison Barnard Feeney
A number of manufacturing companies have reported anecdotal evidence describing the benefits of Model-Based Enterprise (MBE). Based on this evidence, the entire industry has embraced a vision to deploy MBE. In our view, the best chance of realizing this

Current Standards Landscape for Smart Manufacturing Systems

February 23, 2016
Author(s)
Yan Lu, Katherine C. Morris, Simon P. Frechette
The future of manufacturing lies in being able to optimize the use of resources to produce high quality product and adapt quickly to changing conditions. From smaller lot sizes, to more customization, to sudden changes in supply chain; the variability that

Mitigating Ingredient Variability Risks with Smart Manufacturing

February 18, 2016
Author(s)
Frank H. Riddick, Evan K. Wallace, Jim Davis
Managing the design of products and the efficient execution of the manufacturing processes needed to produce them is an endeavor fraught with all manner of risks for manufacturing enterprises large and small. In certain industries, such as the food

Analysis and Optimization based on Reusable Knowledge Base of Process Performance Models

December 22, 2015
Author(s)
Alexander Brodsky, Guodong Shao, Mohan Krishnamoorthy, Anantha Narayanan Narayanan, Daniel Menasc?, Ronay Ak
In this paper, we propose an architectural design and software framework for fast development of descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive analytics solutions for dynamic production processes. The proposed architecture and framework will

Methods and Tools for Performance Assurance of Smart Manufacturing Systems

December 22, 2015
Author(s)
Deogratias Kibira, Katherine C. Morris, Senthilkumaran Kumaraguru
The emerging concept of smart manufacturing systems is defined in part by the introduction of new technologies that are promoting rapid and widespread information flow within the manufacturing system and surrounding its control. These systems can deliver

Measuring and Representing the Performance of Manufacturing Assembly Robots

Author(s)
Michael O. Shneier, Elena R. Messina, Craig I. Schlenoff, Frederick M. Proctor, Thomas Kramer, Joseph Falco
With the growth of robotic technology, there is a need for performance measures to characterize and compare robots and to help determine which features are most suited to a particular application. Robot systems are complex and involve a wide range of

Towards a Virtual Factory Prototype

December 5, 2015
Author(s)
Sanjay Jain, David Lechevalier, Jungyub Woo, Seungjun Shin
A virtual factory should represent most of the features and operations of the corresponding real factory. Some of the key features of the virtual factory include the ability to assess performance at multiple resolutions and generate analytics data similar

Performance Challenges Identification Method for Smart Manufacturing Systems

November 27, 2015
Author(s)
Kiwook Jung, Katherine C. Morris, Kevin W. Lyons, Swee K. Leong, Hyunbo Cho
Smart Manufacturing Systems (SMS) need to be agile to adapt to new situations by using detailed, precise, and appropriate data for intelligent decision-making. The intricacy of the relationship of strategic goals to operational performance across the many
