Emerging technologies-based and digital twin driven inclusive manufacturing system

Abstract

In the last few decades, several emerging technologies have come into existence, and their execution in the manufacturing sector is recognised as Industry 4.0. Always, a significant gap is observed between the developed and developing economies, especially the manufacturing aspect. Changes in the environmental and societal policies take place to meet the presumed industrial contribution. Therefore, an inclusive manufacturing system (IMS) has been proposed by immersing the sustainability factors with shifting technological advancements. This paper proposes a framework envisioning the digital twin driven manufacturing systems by incorporating a mathematical representation of inclusive manufacturing (IM) factors. A simulated case study of the manufacturing of a gate valve is presented for supporting the proposed concept.
