e-Manufacturing: Fundamentals, Applications and Potentials
Professor Kai Cheng Advanced Manufacturing & Enterprise Engineering (AMEE) Group
School of Engineering & Design, Brunel UniversityUxbridge UB8 3PH, UK
- Mass customization and customer oriented e-manufacturing
- Remote control and condition monitoring
- Virtual manufacturing and systems
- e-Supply chain management
- e-Enterprise and global manufacturing
• Conclusions and the future ‘standing’
Outline of the presentatione-Science
The characteristics of e-manufacturing emphases the new philosophy through which manufacturing will be operated in integration with Internet technology. e-manufacturing philosophy results from that the way people work is being changed by the Internet, for instance:
What is meant by e-Science? In the future, e-Science will refer to the large scale science that will increasingly be carried out through distributed global collaboration enabled by the Internet. Typically, a feature of such collaborative scientific enterprises is that they will require access to very large data collections, very large scale computing resources and high performance visualisation back to the individual user scientists.
The Core Program has been structured around 6 key elements:
• A national e-Science centre linked to a network of regional grid centres
• Generic grid middleware and demonstrator projects
• Grid ‘IRC’ research projects
• Support for e-Science testbeds
• Participation in international grid projects and activities
• Establishment of a grid network team

e-Science
EU 6th Framework - IST program(2004 onward)
Applied IST research addressing major societal and economic challenges:
• Towards a global dependability and security framework
• Networked business and government
• e-Safety for road and air transport
• e-Health
• Technology-enhanced learning and access to cultural heritage
• Applications and services for the mobile user and worker
• Cross media content for leisure and entertainment
e-manufacturing covers a range of online manufacturing activities for products and services, including product design, production control and conditions monitoring, supply chain management, maintenance and sale services, etc., through the Internet/Intranet/Extranet and grid computing infrastructure.
What is e-Manufacturing? - (1)e-Science
e-manufacturing is the complete electronic (computer systems and networks) integration of all factory components. Users range from operators to technicians to engineers to managers.
• Advanced Technologies for e-Manufacturing- Agent technology- Multi-agent systems- Data mining and knowledge discovery- Grid computing
• Internet and Manufacturing Knowledge Management- Internet characteristics - Design agility and the Internet - Manufacturing responsiveness and the Internet - CBR and web-based computational intelligence
• Computing Infrastructure for e-manufacturing- Software tools- Hardware- Networking- Implementation

Devolved Manufacturing – (1)
Current developments in e-manufacture are generally ‘factory-centric’
Outcome of industrial revolution Driven by production and cost needs
Concept developed in 1980’s
Increases product range by allowing customers to choose from range of options
Needs to be set up with care to avoid extra overheads associated with increased product variety
Ultimate goal of MC ?
