Connecting Mechanical Components to Network (IOT) In Solid State Additive Manufacturing

Abstract

The potential of incorporating Internet of Things (IoT) technologies into solid state additive manufacturing (SSAM) processes is investigated in this study. During the SSAM construction, we talk about the idea of directly integrating tiny, networked sensors and actuators into components. With this method, there are intriguing opportunities to develop intelligent, networked mechanical systems that can do things like:

• Real-time monitoring: Predictive maintenance and performance optimization are made possible by sensors built into components that can continuously measure and report on temperature, pressure, strain, and other characteristics.
• Remote control and actuation: Adaptive systems and on-demand modifications can be made possible by networked actuators that are embedded into the components and enable dynamic control and reconfiguration of their operation.
• Data-driven design: Through gathering information at every stage of a component's lifecycle, from design in the SSAM process to field operation, new insights can be gleaned to enhance existing designs and maximize manufacturing parameters.

The technical difficulties of integrating IoT in SSAM, such as component downsizing, material compatibility, and workflow integration with current production processes, will be covered in detail in this article. We will also talk about the possible advantages and uses of this technology for a number of industries, such as consumer electronics, automotive, and aerospace. By advancing research and development efforts toward the creation of intelligent, networked mechanical systems using SSAM, this work hopes to usher in a new era of intelligent and adaptable manufacturing.
