Title
Symbiotic cyber-physical Kanban 4.0: an Approach for SMEs
Abstract
This paper discusses the problems of material and information flow in a complex product manufacturing process. It presents an ICT solution that augments Kanbans in order to enable flexible and pervasive control on state and delivery of material on workstations. The paper deliberates methods and tools that can be possibly applied in such production systems. The best-practices and modern technologies are taken into consideration in the context of small-medium enterprises (SMEs). It is assumed that important factors and constraints are: low costs, low instrumentations, and high flexibility. The complexity of products and the manufacturing systems makes the management and control process even more difficult. The deployment of distributed intelligence and decision support systems can facilitate the compliance with industrial standards and the migration towards the automation levels required by industry 4.0 also in SMEs.
