| Abstract Scope |
Ideally, automation and artificial intelligence code developed by research labs will flow seamlessly into applications around the country. In practice, poor documentation, implementation challenges, and intellectual property issues significantly slow or stop technology transition. We are using direct-ink write (DIW) AM as a prototypical high-mix low-volume manufacturing process for exploring various tools to accelerate digital technology adoption. This presentation will show our progress from traditional G-Code automation for automation to a cloud-edge architecture with containerized modular microservices. We will also demonstrate how these tools can be easily adapted to add value to research environments. Additionally, this progress represents a step toward interoperability in automation, data, and models and, consequently, bringing digital engineering tools to data-starved high-mix low-volume manufacturing. |
