Increasing digitalization in manufacturing, often associated with terms like Industry 4.0 (I4.0) or Smart Manufacturing, is a topic of crucial concern for manufacturing companies. Different digital technologies (DTs) can be integrated into processes and systems aiming at increasing flexibility, product quality productivity. The type scope potential DTs must carefully selected when planning impr...

Open ended evolution (OEE) is a problem closely related to the “arrow of complexity”, that is, the temporal emergence of complex and complicated structures and organisms in a progressive, never-ending fashion. A straightforward, and biologically proven means to approach this is to integrate organisms in complex environments, and to make them parts of an evolving food web where various aspects o...

The ability of an industrial company to produce a product will certainly depend on the machine used as tool every part product. Over time, increased market demand must be accompanied by increase in production rates. Where this requires companies have high productivity, especially machining parts process. We can measure effectiveness using Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) method, which is o...

The initial adoption phase of new production technologies is the period between first run or technology reconfiguration and achievement a stable target output. This time frame generally characterized by productivity unsteadiness, quality performance variability, unexpected machine failures together with increasing volumes due to process setup instability, which inevitably affects In this contex...
