Transform Your Industry 4.0 Journey with a Modernized Manufacturing Data Supply Chain

whitePaper | June 7, 2022

Manufacturing organizations benefit from the automation brought by the Third Industrial Revolution, but struggle to extract value from and manage the massive volumes of data created by 20th Century process innovation. The Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) - now present - promises to offer tools to unlock the value of these massive quantities of data with the use of technologies such as Data Analytics, Machine Learning & Industrial IoT. However, manufacturing companies still struggle to convert this data value into business outcomes due to the proliferation of data silos, and the overwhelming prevalence of complex and unwieldy data supply chains which leaves data in an unmanageable state.

Silicone Part Production With 3D Printed Tools

whitePaper | January 9, 2023

Silicone rubber has many applications, from hearing aids to handles and grips on consumer goods. This report provides an overview of 3D printed tooling for silicone part production, including two part injection molds, overmolds, compression molds, and eggshell molds. These methods can be employed for the prototyping of soft silicone products, small-batch production of customer beta units, or production of custom end-use goods. A step-by-step guide is provided for producing a silicone keychain with an encapsulated Apple AirTag, employing mold design best practices from several Formlabs product design customers. We also present information about successful material workflows from Formlabs users, including silicone-resin compatibility and recommended mold releases for both tin and platinum cure silicones.

Leveraging MongoDB to create Asset Administration Shells and enable Industry 4.0

whitePaper | January 3, 2023

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.
