Project Summary

With the COVID-19 pandemic and the trends toward achieving carbon neutral, the manufacturing industry are looking for methods to restructure supply chains and significantly improve overall energy efficiency with less resources.

Cloud computing is one of the promising technologies to build centralized or distributed manufacturing systems in the post-COVID era, as digital transformation solutions are deployed in the cloud in any configuration. During the COVID pandemic, manufacturing systems for medical masks were quickly established using cloud-based solutions with production capacity of up to 30 million pieces per day within 6 months.
In this project, fora and policy workshop will be conducted for public and private sectors including research institutes and solution providers to augment members to develop and deploy cloud-based solutions for intelligent manufacturing. Industrial demonstrations will be conducted in real production scenarios to encourage research groups, system integrators and software developers to adapt to  cloud-based intelligent manufacturing services.

Relevance

Issues: In the past two years, the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has caused several waves of mass production disruption, especially in the APEC region where major labor-intensive industries are located. It demonstrates an urgent need on digitalization for ensuring the resiliency of a global supply chain.

Despite the world adjusting gradually getting back to normal, COVID-19 has still drastically changed our lives and work style that people are getting used to hybrid working and web conferencing. To mitigate the pandemic influences and build resilience for facing future challenges, remote collaboration has become the new normal and industries are looking for techniques to resolve engineering problems on remote sites with less costs induced by traveling of engineers, as well as more flexibility and immediacy on responding to issues.

On the other hand, to achieve carbon neutral, energy and resource consumption in manufacturing systems must be significantly reduced, and efficiency enhancement serves as a crucial method to reach the target goal. This project aims to address the above issues by introducing and promoting cloud-based manufacturing solutions adoption across members. Industry sectors such as metal cutting, textile, shoe making, and logistics from more than one economy in the APEC region are estimated to benefit from the proposed solutions

This project addresses the most important issue in digital transformation of the shop floor with an innovative method. That is to introduce an IoT software module which is compatible to all kinds of machinery together with cloud computing modules for intelligent manufacturing. IoT software with open architecture and information model will be defined and implemented so that intelligent machinery and manufacturing software can access operational and sensor data from shopfloor equipment and interact with each other.

Moreover, the machinery cloud platform aggregates many ready-to-use toolbox modules for development of intelligent manufacturing software such as process planning, optimization and monitoring, which can be customized to individual needs. The platform would encourage more developers from universities or research institutes to develop cloud-based intelligent manufacturing solutions for enhancing supply chain resilience. It can also help to reduce the technology gap between firms and economies, which contributes to the PPSTI 2022 theme of “Advancing inclusive innovation environment by enabling an inclusive, open, fair and non-discriminatory innovation environment”

Eligibility and Fund Priorities: This project aims to enhance supply chain connectivity with cloud-based manufacturing solutions. By sharing these solutions, we can:

1) Improve supply chain efficiency by 10% and reduce time/cost or uncertainty on process diagnostics, commissioning, and delivery.

2) Enable members with technology to improve overall manufacturing efficiency.

3) Provide customized solutions for specific members to meet requirements for various economic development.

4) Invite government officials to engage in and learn more about supply chain management for improving related policies and conducting private-public partnership.

Capacity Building: This project will host a forum and workshop to share policy planning, implementation, and strategic guidelines for cloud-based intelligent manufacturing. In addition, technical introduction on industrial IoT, cloud computing as well as case studies on the application of cloud-based manufacturing solutions will be presented. Overall speaking this project can help APEC member economies to build capacity on two categories: 

1) Using cloud-based platform to enhance present or new production lines to accelerate recovery from the pandemic.

2) Using cloud-based software development tools to speed-up innovation and joint development to meet requirements for carbon neutral production.

Objectives

The objective of this project is to enable manufacturing industries within regions with the ability to develop and adapt cloud-based manufacturing solutions to improve flexibility, immediacy and resiliency of manufacturing systems and supply chains, as well as meet requirements posed by the global trends of pursuing carbon-neutral production. Members can benefit from the outcome of this project in several aspects, including technology diffusion, digital transformation, manufacturing capability improvement, and linkage enhancement across supply chains.

Alignment

Alignment to APEC: This project meets APEC 2022 priority of restoring connectivity in all dimensions as the cloud-based manufacturing solutions help industries in the region to reconnect engineering groups and supply chains during and after the pandemic. Research groups can also connect with each other through the cloud-based development platform and conduct inter-discipline joint research.  

This project also aligns with the APEC Putrajaya Vision 2040 as the cloud-based manufacturing solutions will contribute to innovation and digitalization by accelerating digital transformation of the supply chain and narrowing the digital divide among economies for facilitating strong, balanced, sustainable and inclusive growth.  

Alignment to Forum: This project aligns with PPSTI Subgroup B priority of “Promoting Enabling Environment for Innovation” as innovative technology can be aggregated in the cloud-computing environment so that everyone can easily access and apply to specific manufacturing scenario without the limit of time and movement. The cloud platform is now administered and operated by the project team. While the platform could greatly reduce the time cost as well as information gap, the environment would become more enabling for innovation. Furthermore, this project meets the target of PPSTI Sub-group C of creating STI ecosystems & STI networks that strengthen regional STI linkages by enhancing connectivity of industry, academia and policy maker consortiums. This project also aligns with the PPSTI 2022 priorities as follows:

1) Supporting regional recovery: Low-hanging-fruit technologies will be packaged into ready-to-use solutions and being presented on the cloud platform so that manufacturing industries can quickly adapt and boost production capacity with less personnel and resources.

2) Advancing Inclusive Innovation Environment: Developers for intelligent manufacturing can access encapsulated domain knowledge in terms of cloud services, reducing overall costs to re-develop and re-validate ideas and prototype systems and hence would be able to focus more on innovation. Moreover, the cloud-based platform could help startup companies to engage more in the manufacturing ecosystem and supply chain for increasing their exposure to consumers and promoting sustainable growth.

3) Stimulating Digital Technologies for Sustainable Growth: With less cost and barriers to implement digital technologies into the manufacturing process, economies could benefit from it and lead to sustainable and inclusive growth.
