abstract

  • © 2018 IEEE. This paper outlines the base concepts, materials and methods used to develop an Industry 4.0 architecture focused on predictive maintenance, while relying on low-cost principles to be affordable by Small Manufacturing Enterprises. The result of this research work was a low-cost, easy-to-develop cyber-physical system architecture that measures the temperature and vibration variables of a machining process in a Haas CNC turning centre, while storing such data in the cloud where Recursive Partitioning and Regression Tree model technique is run for predicting the rejection of machined parts based on a quality threshold. Machining quality is predicted based on temperature and/or vibration machining data and evaluated against average surface roughness of each machined part, demonstrating promising predictive accuracy.
