Factory of the Future Requirements in Relation to Manufacturing Technology in Automobile Industry for Economic Enhancement

Abstract

This paper reviewed approximately recent reported researches on requirements, challenges and current innovations in Manufacturing Technology System (MTS) in the area of the Factory of the Future (FoF) application for the economic enhancement of the automobile industry. These MTS researches are categorized to addressing: manufacturing technology aspects, introduction of computers to enhance automation using Computerized Numerical Control (CNC), Adaptive Control (AC), Industrial Robots, Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems (CIMSs), and also Computer-Aided Design/Engineering/ Manufacturing (CAD/CAE/CAM), Theories and Models of Manufacturing Systems framework. The paper elaborated on 4^th Industrial Revolution also, known as vision of Industry 4.0 which is for Cyber-Physical Production Systems in which sensor-laden “smart products” tell machines how they should be processed. This vision brings about situation of processes govern themselves in a decentralized, modular system, with smart embedded devices working together wirelessly either directly or via either the Internet ‘Cloud’, that is, the Internet of Things (IoT) to revolutionize manufacturing. This paper also elaborated revolutionize manufacturing system in the form of Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS),Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), Integrated Manufacturing Production System (IMPS) – Lean Production,Adaptive Control/Manufacturing,Smart Manufacturing and Artificial Intelligence Application in manufacturing. This paper did achieve solutions embellishment on requirements, challenges and innovations on the areas of FoF requirements for automobile components manufacturing using intelligent manufacturing system, completely ICT-based production systems with high quality manufacturing technologies and intelligent capabilities aimed at high output with accurate performance.
