According to the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s Engineering Research Visioning Alliance, US manufacturing has lost 30% of its jobs since 1970 and its share of GDP has shrunk to 12%. It will take extensive research and technology to turn this around, particularly to help the 75% of 591k US manufacturers who are small businesses. ERVA's Engineering the Future of Distributed Manufacturing report highlights some specific areas of opportunity: - Create distributed and secure Materials Supply Chains, including designing next-gen materials that are non-polluting, recyclable, and renewable. Titanium production rose 55% in China from 2011-2021 while declining 98% in the US, to cite one data point. - Invest in Tools and Processes for to create anywhere, anytime, in any lot size. For example, "swarm manufacturing" can combine multiple small tools and subtractive and additive techniques to produce larger parts. - Data and Quality Assurance research - for example, designing a generic playbook for processes that is accessible to SMBs. Shout out to 3D Systems Corporation and Xometry as private sector #additivemanufacturing participants in this study.

Imagine a world where factories are filled with workers manually assembling products, where every mundane task requires human effort, and where the modern conveniences of life we take for granted are absent. In today’s hyper-connected, high-tech world, automation plays a crucial role in virtually every industry. But what if automation never existed? What would our lives look like without the machines and systems that handle tasks at the click of a button? This blog delves into this thought-provoking question, exploring how different our world would be without automation and how it impacts our lives.

#Industrial_engineering is a branch of engineering that focuses on optimizing complex systems, #processes, and organizations to improve efficiency, #productivity, and #quality. #Industrial engineers use principles from mathematics, physics, and social sciences to analyze and design systems involving people, technology, materials, energy, and information. They work across various industries, including #manufacturing, #healthcare, #transportation, and #logistics, to solve problems related to #production, #supply_chain management, facility layout, and workflow optimization.

Does an enterprise have its own rhythm of work? I want to share my experience of developing a dynamic production model and how I managed to solve a very interesting task using #PlantSimulation by Siemens Digital Industries Software for chemical production and acid neutralization processes. Objective: 1) Determine whether the designed system meets the performance requirements and can neutralize the required amount of acid. 2) Define the necessary equipment parameters: volumetric flow rates for pumps, tank volumes, cycle durations, mixing times for mixers, etc. 3) Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in the system. 4) Gain a better understanding of the system through simulating it dynamically. 5) Debug the control process and handle equipment failure scenarios. Solution Process: In solving such a task, we transition from static technological schemes to a dynamic model, incorporating all parameters, even those that may be unknown at early stages and are supplemented during the process. The figure below illustrates this transition. Results: Bottlenecks were identified, and the average volumetric flow rate of liquid per unit time was determined for each part of the system (shown in the figure). It became clear that in its current state, the system cannot meet the requirements (without optimization) because there are bottlenecks and the flow rate requirements are not met (approximately 3x times lower than the specified requirements). The diagram below presents the requirements (red - chemical calculations on paper, violet - customer requirements) that needed to be fulfilled, and the current volumetric flow rate at specific sections of the system (green). However, after making changes, optimizing, and selecting different equipment, as well as defining requirements more consciously for this equipment, I managed to achieve the necessary volumetric flow rate, which approximately approached the initially stated requirements. The bottleneck problem remained but became less critical (from 70% utilization at the most critical section to 62%, while the target value was 50% because the system operates in Batch mode). Additional Thoughts: It would be interesting in the future to see and understand the place of the current model in a digital twin of production. On the one hand, this model answered many questions for me; on the other hand, it exists separately. It would be interesting to see architectural solutions where not only the model is present but also information about equipment, customers, suppliers, stages for specific equipment. This would be part of a full digital twin. I want to express my gratitude to Steffen Bangsow for two excellent books that I managed to study and apply in the development of this model: Steffen Bangsow - Manufacturing Simulation with Plant Simulation and SimTalk (2010) Steffen Bangsow - Tecnomatix Plant Simulation: Modeling and Programming by Means of Examples #Technomatix #Siemens #DigitalTwin #Simulation #Optimization
