Leveraging MongoDB to create Asset Administration Shells and enable Industry 4.0
In order to achieve digital manufacturing through Industry 4.0, it is critical to aggregate and manage the huge amount of data generated in the factory by Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) sensors and devices. Having connected machines, workers and systems is just the start of the digital transformation journey. To extract real value from this connectivity, a digital twin of machines and processes have to be modeled in a standardized manner which will help aggregate heterogeneous data and provide valuable insights to drive productivity and efficiency. The interoperability and flexibility of different assets is an important challenge due to the volume and variety of data that needs to be modeled. This paper will go over Industry 4.0 compliant data modeling principles using the MongoDB Smart Factory testbed as an example. We will model the data using MongoDB Atlas in a way that fulfills requirements and needs of Industry 4.0: interoperability, flexibility and scalability.

ADOPTING AN ADAPTIVE MANUFACTURING STRATEGY

whitePaper | July 7, 2022

Change has always been a factor in manufacturing, but traditionally, market conditions have evolved over several months or even years. By contrast, in today’s global economy, incidents both local and thousands of miles away are shifting market demand quickly, impacting the availability of materials, and reshaping supply chain dynamics at breakneck speed. Manufacturers need to adapt to these changes immediately without sacrificing product quality, customer relationships, or valuable employees. And that requires an adaptive manufacturing strategy.

Precision and Automation in Manufacturing

whitePaper | July 25, 2022

Manufacturers are demanding ever-greater precision, accuracy, and reliability from industrial automation. Fortunately, sensors, robot arms, grippers, and the software to connect and guide them have become increasingly capable. In response to the labor and supply chain challenges of the past few years, as well as the demands for personalization and rapid fulfillment, many factories and other facilities are looking to adopt robots or add them to their operations. In this Special Focus Issue, we look at how AI and machine learning are enabling more precise picking, among other applications.
