Indeed, decision making for operations and production enables companies to maximize their profits and be more competitive. However, some industries are behind in their integration of Industry 4.0 technologies. This is the case of foundries, which, with their traditional manufacturing processes, do not perceive the potential benefits of Industry 4.0. In particular, this industry relies on digital technologies to connect production systems throughout the supply chain with smart factories. The manufacturing industry must rely on Industry 4.0 to produce more personalized products while remaining economically competitive. Hence, this study seeks to optimize the manufacturing process of a titanium recycling and foundry company, Metalliage Inc., with a program that selects the raw materials to be melted in order to minimize costs and meet order constraints. A model is developed to simulate the production as a mixed integer linear programming problem. The conducted study shows a potential gain of 20% that could be achieved with production supported by Industry 4.0 technologies. A possible integration of these technologies will be proposed in the context of a metal recycling plant.","PeriodicalId":446767,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Canadian Mechanical Engineering.

While the KF is effective under the stated conditions, it lacks robustness to disturbances which are prevalent in real-world applications. Since its inception 60 years ago, there have been numerous variants of the KF developed to accommodate nonlinear systems, non-Gaussian noise, and modeling uncertainties. The smooth variable structure filter (SVSF) is as an alternative to the KF with improved robustness, especially in the case of external disturbances. It is based on sliding mode techniques that offer robustness at the cost of optimality. The static multiple models estimator incorporates several possible operating modes and generates an estimation that is weighted based on the likelihood of each mode. This paper introduces an adaptive formulation of the SVSF based on static multiple models, and applies the developed strategy on an electrohydrostatic actuator.","PeriodicalId":446767,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Canadian Mechanical Engineering.
