Summary: | This study explores the use of digital twin technology, a virtual mirror of a physical
object, in the context of smart factories and has developed a smart camera based on
the principles of sustainability for Yangbum Engineering Pte Ltd., a Singapore-based
engineering firm, to get valuable insights for optimising manufacturing processes and
improving overall equipment performance. The camera captures images of the
production line and analyses them to figure out product lead time, machine
breakdowns, operator performance, preventive maintenance and OEE, ensuring
sustainable use and efficiency of machines running in production by identifying
abnormalities in production, helping prevent downtime and reducing waste. The
testing was done only on a mock-up model due to camera quality limitations, limited
access to the production shop floor and time and budget constraints. This system has
the potential to be used in a variety of settings and can be customized to meet specific
requirements. One potential limitation of the system is the alteration to the
surroundings which may require additional calibration and configuration for
identifying the location of the LEDs within the system. This study contributes to the
advancement of sustainable design practices in smart factories and has significant
positive impacts on the environment, economy, and society.
