Introduction to industrial evolution and digital manufacturing

We’re in the midst of a significant transformation regarding the way we produce

products thanks to the digitization of manufacturing. This transition is so
compelling that it is being called Industry 4.0 to represent the fourth revolution
that has occurred in manufacturing. From the first industrial revolution
(mechanization through water and steam power) to the mass production and
assembly lines using electricity in the second, the fourth industrial revolution
will take what was started in the third with the adoption of computers and
automation and enhance it with smart and autonomous systems fueled by data
and machine learning.

Figure 1. Industrial revolutions.

Figure 1 describes the main phases that characterized industrial revolutions. The
first industrial revolution was developed in the eighteenth century due to
mechanical production obtained by water and steam, with the development of
machine tools and an improvement of their efficiency. The second industrial
revolution developed with the arrival of electricity and mass production,
theorized by Smith and Taylor and implemented by Henry Ford in his Detroit
factory for the production of the Model T. The third revolution was
characterized by machine automation through the use of electronics and IT
applied in the production processes

When computers were introduced in Industry 3.0, it was disruptive thanks to the
addition of an entirely new technology. Now, and into the future as Industry 4.0
unfolds, computers are connected and communicate with one another to
ultimately make decisions without human involvement. A combination of
cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things and the Internet of Systems make
Industry 4.0 possible and the smart factory a reality. As a result of the support
of smart machines that keep getting smarter as they get access to more data, our
factories will become more efficient and productive and less wasteful.
Ultimately, it's the network of these machines that are digitally connected with
one another and create and share information that results in the true power of
Industry 4.0.

Industry 4.0 with Robots:

Once only possible for large enterprises with equally large budgets, robotics are
now more affordable and available to organizations of every size. From picking
products at a warehouse to getting them ready to ship, autonomous robots can
quickly and safely support manufacturers. Robots move goods around Amazon
warehouses and also reduce costs and allow better use of floor space for the
online retailer.

Industry 4.0: The Fourth Industrial Revolution for Digital

Manufacturing
The advancements in technologies have led to progression in our life thereby
making it hassle-free and comfortable. This technological revolution has
impacted almost every sector be it the manufacturing sector, healthcare sector,
consumer sector, finance, media or any other industry.

Digital Manufacturing can be rightly defined as a cohesive approach to

manufacturing. It majorly focuses on manufacturing using machines and
computer systems. It involves the use of a number of automated tools to
simplify, quicken and optimize the processes.

Industry 4.0 was first proposed by the Government of Germany in 2013. It

includes a rich amalgamation of traditional manufacturing processes with state-
of-the-art technology. This revolution extends and elaborates the impact of
digitalization in many ways.

Aim: To familiarize with the environment and workbench of Delmia Robotics

module of software.

Introduction:

To start with DELMIA must double-click on the icon and DELMIA V5R19
after a while the program began. The program starts by default in the module
that was last used. The program consists of various modules, which are in the
menubar / start, this allows to display a list of all available modules, depending
on the license of DELMIA installed. To choose the module where required
starting work, one must click on the desired icon.

DELMIA environment
DELMIA environment is constituted by the following elements:
• Work area
We can display the different parts, machinery and processes that are intended to
produce.

• Menu bar
This bar contains access to all the commands of the program.

• Action tree
This section shows the elements and operations contained in the document,
these are ordered Chronologically.

• Workbench icon
This is shown in the upper right corner showing an icon which points us in that
module are working, this can enable or disable the option View / Toolbars /
Workbench and this can be transferred from place as the user requires.

• Work tools
These can change depending on the selected module, it can sometimes hidden
tools that are more.

• Blueprints
Are those that allow the orientation of the elements to be modeled, these
represent the coordinate axes XY, YZ and XZ

• Compass
It is a set of axes Allows you to frame and rotate the view of the elements,
default appears in the upper right corner and can be enabled or disabled by
clicking View / compass.

Aim: To launch a session and get familiar with the workbench toolbars.

Procedure
The Training Manuals are divided into modules and steps. Depending on the
class, each module represents the configuration and each step in the module
guides you through procedure. A project will be created from start to finish.

Settings
This reviews the setting required for our project.
1. Launch the software. To do this, click the icon on the desktop, or select
Start / Programs / DELMIA, DELMIA V5.
2. In the menu bar, select Tools / Options.
3. Select General / General tab. In the save field,
deactivate Automatic Save.

4. In the Environment Tools toolbar, the

Toggle Manipulation Handle Mode
command can be toggled On/Off.
When toggled on, a green box appears
 around the selected object. This box
makes the object easier to grab and
move.

5. Under the General / Display / Navigation tab, deactivate the Preselect in

geometry view option.

Objects can now be chosen from the PPR tree only.

If this option is active, objects in the 3D view are
automatically selected by passing the mouse over
them. Selections, in this made may be made that are
not wanted.

6. Deactivate the Display manipulation bounding box option.

7. In the Navigation field, activate the Gravitational effects during

navigation option. Select Z.

This option is especially useful for a project with a floor; you can rotate
around and the floor stays level with the viewpoint.
8. In the General / Display / Performances tab note the settings for the 3D
Accuracy, the 2D Accuracy, and the Level of detail fields. The values are
at the lowest setting (as shown below) to give a more exact view of the
geometry with this setting. A circle is displayed as round not as an
octagon.

9. The General / Display / Visualization tab displays the color settings for the
software. For this project, change the background to white. Click on the
down arrow or click on the pull down menu to see the available colors.
 • The default color for a
