Integrating Mechanical Components to the Internet of Things (IOT) in Solid State Additive Manufacturing: An Over View

Abstract

One major development in the field of smart manufacturing is the incorporation of mechanical components into the Internet of Things (IoT) in solid state additive manufacturing (AM). An overview of the integration process is given in this abstract, with emphasis on important features and possible advantages. First, the idea of IoT is introduced with reference to additive manufacturing, with a focus on how it makes production processes easier to monitor, control, and optimize in real time. The incorporation of mechanical elements into solid state AM systems—such as sensors, actuators, and embedded devices—is then investigated. These elements improve the manufacturing environment's overall functioning and intelligence by facilitating data collecting, communication, and decision-making capabilities. The abstract also covers the benefits and possible uses of IoT-enabled additive manufacturing, such as enhanced process efficiency, quality control, preventative maintenance, and customization options. Furthermore, issues like data security, interoperability, and scalability related to linking mechanical components to the IoT in solid state AM are discussed. These abstract attempts to encourage more research and development efforts in utilizing IoT technology to improve the capabilities and competitiveness of additive manufacturing processes by giving an overview of this developing topic.
