Abstract In Intelligent Manufacturing, Big Data and industrial information enable enterprises to closely monitor and respond to precise changes in both internal processes and external environmental factors, ensuring more informed decision-making and adaptive system management. It also promotes decision making and provides scientific analysis to enhance the efficiency of the operation, cost reduction, maximizing the process of production and so on. Various methods are employed to enhance productivity, yet achieving sustainable manufacturing remains a complex challenge that requires careful consideration. This study aims to develop a methodology for effective manufacturing sustainability by proposing a novel Hybrid… More >

Abstract Recent decades have seen a substantial increase in interest in research on natural fibres that is aligned with sustainable development goals (SDGs). Due to their renewable resources and biodegradability, natural fiber-reinforced composites have been investigated as a sustainable alternative to synthetic materials to reduce the usage of hazardous waste and environmental pollution. Among the natural fibre, jute fibre obtained from a bast plant has an increasing trend in the application, especially as a reinforcement material. Numerous research works have been performed on jute fibre with regard to reinforced thermoset and thermoplastic composites. Nevertheless, current demands More >

Abstract In this study, information on energy usage in the United States (U.S.) aerospace manufacturing sector has been analyzed and then represented as energy intensities (kWh/m²) to establish benchmark data and to compare facilities of varying sizes. First, public sources were identified and the data from these previously published sources were aggregated to determine the energy usage of aerospace manufacturing facilities within the U.S. From this dataset, a sample of 28 buildings were selected and the energy intensity for each building was estimated from the data. Next, as a part of this study the energy data for… More >
