Development and implementation of UWB-based intelligent and digital twin systems for a smart electronics manufacturing factory

Today, electronics manufacturing is one of the world’s largest industries, and it continues to expand with the advent of consumer electronics, from smartphones, wearables, electric vehicles, etc. With Industry 4.0 technologies, electronics manufacturers can transform their production capabilities so that they can be more flexible and responsive to dynamic market forces, and smart electronic factories can also increase productivity, reduce costs, and open the door to new business models. If Dorigo Systems’ electronics manufacturing service (EMS) is to remain competitive and innovative, it needs transparency and full insight into its operating models. In the proposed research project, Dorigo’s EMS will serve as a ‘Smart Factory Testbed’ (SFT) for rapid implementation and testing of new Industry 4.0 technologies, including IIoT, CPS, machine learning, cloud computing, edge computing, communication networks, operational technology (OT) cybersecurity, etc. These are different yet modular concepts that can be integrated for the common objective of achieving a smart factory that satisfies the increasing demands of intelligence, personalization, servitization, and greenization for Canadian manufacturers.
