This review provides a comprehensive taxonomy of blockchain architectures, analyzing their working modes, strengths, and weaknesses while identifying appropriate use cases. It also examines consensus algorithms, categorizing them as either crash fault tolerant (CFT) or Byzantine fault tolerant (BFT) and further classifies them based on whether they are proof-based or voting-based. The review explores the intrinsic limitations of blockchain systems and highlights specific manufacturing challenges where blockchain can be instrumental. It also discusses the synergy between blockchain and cybersecurity, emphasizing how they work together to enhance security and accountability. The paper concludes by identifying private blockchain as the most suitable architecture for certain manufacturing applications, particularly in supply chain management and machinery control. A SWOT analysis is conducted on this architecture to provide a detailed understanding of its potential and challenges. The review suggests that while no single consensus algorithm is best universally, each has its own merits depending on the application. Lastly, the SWOT analysis serves as a catalyst for future research, guiding efforts to maximize blockchain’s strengths and mitigate its weaknesses in industrial contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Manufacturing Systems","volume":"77 ","pages":"Pages 612-638"},"PeriodicalIF":12.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142535596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the evolving nature of manufacturing processes and the inherent complexity of data, including noise and missing entries, achieving accurate anomaly detection becomes even more intricate. Conventional methods often miss nuanced anomalies, especially when dealing with high-dimensional, multivariate, non-stationary data. These data types are typical of smart manufacturing environments. Hence, many recent approaches have embraced deep learning to confront these challenges, making use of diverse attention mechanisms to acquire data representations. However, in manufacturing, where the dynamics of time series data change over time, methods relying solely on pointwise or pairwise representations often fall short. Thus, ensuring product quality and operational integrity calls for even more advanced methodologies. The deficiency lies in the capability of state-of-the-art models to effectively capture abnormal patterns while considering both local and global contextual information. This challenge is compounded by the rarity of anomalies, making it exceedingly challenging to establish substantial associations between individual abnormal points and the entire time series. To tackle these challenges, we introduce the “<strong>A</strong>daptive <strong>A</strong>dversarial <strong>T</strong>ransformer” as a novel deep learning technique that combines Transformer architecture with an anomaly attention mechanism and Adversarial Learning.

Tool Condition Monitoring (TCM) can reduce the cost of processing and improve the quality of processing. It is one of the important technologies to realize intelligent manufacturing. To better identify the amount of tool wear in the cutting process, this research constructs a tool wear detection framework based on a semantic segmentation module. The semantic segmentation task of tool surface wear image collected in a complex environment is carried out by using image pixel information for tool wear monitoring. Because of the uneven illumination of the edge of the wear area and the unclear edge boundary, the self-learning parameters are used to separate the foreground and background of the image and amplify the subtle difference information. While enhancing the feature information of the tool wear image, the detection efficiency is improved.

The accuracy of the model is verified by orthogonal experiments and the model is comprehensively compared based on common evaluation indicators.

Cross-validation indicates that the inpainting model accurately reconstructs the spatial distribution of part temperature with strong generalizability across various geometries. Further application to experimental data using infrared camera measurements shows that the model accuracy could be improved by augmenting the training data with simulation data that shares process parameters and geometry with the experimental part.

Condition monitoring (CM) capabilities are critically needed in UMW applications because process anomalies, such as tool degradation and workpiece surface contamination, significantly deteriorate the joining quality. Recently, machine learning models emerged as a promising tool for CM in many manufacturing applications. Yet, many existing models lack the generalizability or adaptability and cannot be directly applied to new manufacturing process configurations (i.e., domains). Although several domain generalization techniques have been proposed, their successful deployment often requires substantial training data, which can be expensive and time-consuming to collect in a single factory. Such issues may be potentially alleviated by pooling data across factories, but data sharing raises critical data privacy concerns that have prohibited data sharing for collaborative model training in the industry. To address these challenges, this paper presents a Federated Domain Generalization for Condition Monitoring (FDG-CM) framework that provides domain generalization capabilities in distributed learning while ensuring data privacy. By effectively learning a unified representation from the feature space, FDG-CM can adapt CM models for new clients (factories) with different process configurations. To demonstrate the effectiveness of FDG-CM, we investigate two distinct UMW CM tasks, including tool condition monitoring and workpiece surface condition classification. Compared with state-of-the-art federated learning algorithms, FDG-CM achieves a 5.35%–8.08% improvement in CM accuracy. FDG-CM is also shown to achieve excellent performance in challenging scenarios involving unbalanced data distributions and limited participating clients. Furthermore, by implementing the FDG-CM method on an edge–cloud architecture, we show that this method is both viable and efficient in practice. The FDG-CM framework is readily extensible to other manufacturing applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Manufacturing Systems","volume":"77 ","pages":"Pages 1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":12.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142444772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
