Smart manufacturing leverages big data analytics to optimize complex production processes and enhance supply chain management. [7] Big data analytics refers to a method for gathering and understanding large data sets in terms of what are known as the three V's, velocity, variety and volume.
The introduction of smart sensors in the insurance industry is disrupting the traditional practice in multiple ways. Smart sensors generate a large amount of (big) data and affects the business models of insurance companies as follows. Smart sensors in client’s homes or in wearables help insurance companies to get much more detailed ...
Second-generation smart systems: active miniaturized artificial organs like cochlear implants or artificial pancreas, advanced energy management systems, and environmental sensor networks; Third-generation smart systems: combine technical “intelligence” and cognitive functions so that they can provide an interface between the virtual and ...
The industrial internet of things (IIoT) refers to interconnected sensors, instruments, and other devices networked together with computers' industrial applications, including manufacturing and energy management. This connectivity allows for data collection, exchange, and analysis, potentially facilitating improvements in productivity and ...
Smart manufacturing Virtual computing environments enable smart devices to access pertinent services anywhere and anytime. [4] Physical environments may be embedded with various smart devices of different types including tags, sensors, and controllers, and have different form factors ranging from nano- to micro- to macro-sized.
Shahinpoor has conducted research in biomimetic, flexible, soft robotics, robotic surgery, smart materials, electroactive polymers, ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs), soft actuators, self-powered energy harvesters, and sensors. He has authored over 600 publications and 93 books and volumes.
The idea of "digital manufacturing" became prominent in the early 1970s, with the release of Dr. Joseph Harrington's book, Computer Integrated Manufacturing. [5] However, it was not until 1984 when computer-integrated manufacturing began to be developed and promoted by machine tool manufacturers and the Computer and Automated Systems Association and Society of Manufacturing Engineers (CASA/SME).
Sensors is a monthly peer-reviewed, open access, scientific journal that is published by MDPI. It was established in June 2001. The editors-in-chief are Vittorio M.N. Passaro, Assefa M. Melesse, Alexander Star, Eduard Llobet, Guillermo Villanueva and Davide Brunelli. [1] Sensors covers research on all aspects of sensors and biosensors. [2]
