Smart Multi-material Weight Tracking Resource Bin

Abstract

Smart Manufacturing or otherwise Industry 4.0 as known in Europe has been the latest technological trend in all industry domains. The components being cyberphysical system (CPS), Industrial Internet of things (IIoT), Big Data are major key technologies in improving the overall performance of the factory. In this paper, a case study is done to understand the resource management for medical device manufacturing company and with bringing smartness into manufacturing. A smart multi-material tracking resource bin that measures the quantity of the waste materials is designed and developed which can send real-time information across the stakeholders using the components of smart manufacturing. The application of the resource bin will then may result in the cost-cutting and increasing productivity which are important measures for Micro, Medium, and Small-scale Enterprises (MSME).
