Design And Operation Of Production Networks For Mass Personalization In The Era Of Cloud Technology by Dimitris Mourtzis, Paperback

Design and Operation of Production Networks for Mass Personalization in the Era of Cloud Technologydraws on the latest industry advances to provide everything needed for the effective implementation of this powerful tool. Shorter product lifecycles have increased pressure on manufacturers through the increasing variety and complexity of production, challenging their workforce to remain competitive and profitable. This has led to innovation in production network methodologies, which together with opportunities provided by new digital technologies has fed a rapid evolution of production engineering that has opened new solutions to the challenges of mass personalization and market uncertainty. In addition to the latest developments in cloud technology, reference is made to key enabling technologies, including artificial intelligence, the digital twin, big data analytics, and the internet of things (IoT) to help users integrate the cloud approach with a fully digitalized production system. Presents diverse cases that show how cloud-based technologies can be used in different ways as part of the standard operation of global production networksProvides detailed reviews of new technologies like the digital twin, big data analytics, and blockchain to provide context on the role of cloud technologies in a fully digitalized systemExplores future trends for cloud technology and production engineering | Design And Operation Of Production Networks For Mass Personalization In The Era Of Cloud Technology by Dimitris Mourtzis, Paperback
