标题：Shaping the Future of Production: Four Contrasting Perspectives in 2030
参考译名：2030年的全球制造业：我们面临怎样的未来
摘要：As part of an ambitious effort to assess and shape future global systems, the World Economic Forum has mobilized a number of distinguished individuals from around the world – representing government, civil society, academia and the private sector – to examine the Future of Production. This is a subject at the centre of the sweeping transformation characterized by World Economic Forum Founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which will influence the fundamental ways in which we “live, work, and relate to one another”1 in the future. By definition, it affects our level of economic prosperity and economic development, our stewardship of the physical environment, the degree to which our societies are inclusive, and the mix of opportunities and challenges in the external environment within which we produce.

标题：Smart manufacturing and energy systems
参考译名：智能制造以及能源系统
简介：While many U.S. manufacturing operations utilize optimization for individual unit processes, smart manufacturing (SM) systems that integrate manufacturing intelligence in real time across an entire production operation are not pervasive in industry. A vendor-agnostic SM platform is under development that integrates information technology, models, and simulations driven by real-time plant data and performance metrics. By utilizing existing process control and automation systems, manufacturing organizations can manage systems at a much lower cost, optimizing process knowledge and improving energy productivity. Three case studies are presented: steam methane reforming to make hydrogen, optimization of a heat treatment furnace for metals processing, and a fuel cell system, all of which utilize high fidelity models as a starting point for optimization and control. The Smart Manufacturing Leadership Coalition has led the national effort in SM, and the recently established National Manufacturing Innovation Institute funded by DOE, private industry, and state governments will be described.

标题：A Lack of ‘Big Data’ Open Standards Is Undermining Industry 4.0 Ambitions
参考译名：大数据开放标准的缺乏正在影响工业4.0的实现
简介：In 2017, the UK government announced the ‘Made Smarter Review’, a proposal for Britain to lead the world in a new industrial revolution. The ambitious review, which runs alongside the UK government’s Industrial Strategy that sets out a long term plan to boost productivity in British industry, proposed creating innovation hubs and a national organisation that could turn Britain into a global Industry 4.0 brand. The opportunity here is immense; the introduction of automation within the manufacturing industry it could inject ￡455 billion into the UK economy, boost growth by 3 percent per annum and create a projected 175,000 skilled jobs.

标题：The intelligent factory transformation—a journey not a destination
参考译名：智能工厂转型——是旅程而不是终点
摘要：When we envision the transformation to intelligent factories of the future, we put technology in a starring role. The notion that technology enables and humans hinder is a well-heeled belief. However, a recent Intel study of 145 manufacturing workers and leaders across manufacturing fields suggests that the opposite might be true.

标题：Repurposing Manufacturing Lines on the Fly with Multi-agent Systems for the Web of Things
参考译名：利用物联网的多智能体系统的生产线重构
简介：Multi-agent systems (MAS) have long been envisioned as a key enabling technology in manufacturing, but this promise is yet to be realized: the lack of proper models, architectures, tooling, and the high level of expertise required for designing and programming agent-based manufacturing systems have hindered their large-scale acceptance. The emerging Web of Things (WoT), now being standardized at the W3C and IETF, provides new research opportunities that could help MAS enter the mainstream. In this paper, we present an approach to design scalable and flexible agent-based manufacturing systems that integrates automated planning with multi-agent oriented programming for the WoT: autonomous agents synthesize production plans using semantic descriptions of Web-based artifacts and coordinate with one another via multi-agent organizations; engineers can program and repurpose the systems on the fly via an intuitive Web user interface. The systems use the Web as an application architecture (and not just as a transport layer), which facilitates the seamless integration of geographically distributed production cells. To demonstrate our approach, we implemented a prototypical production cell that uses industry-grade robots and an augmented reality interface for human workers. Together, these contributions demonstrate a means to achieve an intriguing vision for the forthcoming fourth industrial revolution: a global collective intelligence for manufacturing.

标题：Special report: The path to the autonomous truck
参考译名：卡车的自动驾驶之路
简介：Most of the headlines around self-driving technology have focussed on the passenger car segment, but it is trucking that could see the first commercial applications. For transport operators and logistics providers, autonomy offers the promise of improved fuel consumption and operational efficiency along with fewer collisions. Platooning is emerging as a gateway technology that offers many of the benefits of full autonomy without half of the technological or legal obstacles. This concept that began in the field of bicycle racing has been eagerly applied to trucking, and with impressive results. The cost savings on fuel alone is enough to make a business case for the initial financial outlay, but add in the savings on fewer drivers and it becomes increasingly attractive. As platooning is gradually proven in the field, players may begin to question the need for a driver in the second or third vehicle. Imagine a single driver leading a fleet of three heavy trucks across the highway. At some point, even this lead truck driver may disappear.

标题：Advanced High-Strength Steel - Challenges to a Steelmaker
参考译名：车辆轻量化对高强度钢的要求对钢铁制造商的挑战
简介：The need for reducing auto body weight has led to widespread studies and development of high-strength steels over the past decade or so. There are numerous studies on the microstructure-property relationship but little attention has been paid to the challenges in producing these grades without harmful inclusions which affect the performance of final product. Also many of these steels pose difficulties in castability due to clogging as well as harmful inclusions which in themselves are surrogate indicators of cleanliness of steel. This paper seeks to shed some light on the approaches taken by Tata Steel to mitigate such problems in the development of these grades some of which are being commercially supplied and some of which are under development.

标题：The Dream Labs of Future Robotics
参考译名：未来机器人的梦想实验室
简介：Tomorrow’s robotics are taking shape in today’s labs. From package delivery robots and self-driving cars, to surgical snakes and search and rescue robots, the innovations have profound implications. A year, 3 years, or maybe 5 to 10 years down the road, they could be at our door, in our home, or at our side when we need them most. We will take a peek into our future through the lens of a few of the nation’s top academic institutions for robotics research. Each of these universities continues to attract and recruit renowned faculty to their robotics rosters. They have interdisciplinary master’s and doctoral programs in robotics. They spawn successful spinoffs and notable alumni that shake up the industry. They embrace a comprehensive approach to robotics research and education.

标题：Performance Metrics and Test Methods for Robotic Hands
参考译名：机器人手的性能指标和测试方法
简介：Increasing the flexibility and general-purpose applicability of robots is a longstanding goal. Several avenues of research are addressing these goals, ranging from integration of multiple sensors to allow robots to perceive their surroundings and adapt accordingly, to more sophisticated control algorithms that enable robots to re-plan based on current status, to development of more dexterous means of manipulating objects. As part of the manipulation thrust, there has been a recent increase in the development of robotic hands. Inspired by nature, these end effectors hold potential for allowing robots to pick up and manipulate a broader range of objects, without requiring customized end-of-arm tooling or grippers. With this rapidly-growing number of robot hands with diverse designs, there is a need to capture their individual competencies and characteristics under a unified framework. In addition to knowledge of basic hand characteristics such as the number of fingers, degrees of freedom, and degrees of actuation, performance metrics can provide valuable insight into not only the raw traits of the technology, but also their task and function-level performance capabilities. These measures can then be used to help match capabilities to end-user needs as well as provide researchers and developers insight for improving their hardware and software designs. This is a working document where periodic updates will be made based on public comment and lessons-learned from exercising the test methods.

标题：5 Reasons to Consider Robots for Industrial Inspections
参考译名：采用工业检查机器人的五大理由
简介：There are a lot of emerging use cases for non-traditional robotics. What makes industrial inspections one that organizations are tacking today? Industrial inspections, regardless of the reason for inspection, can be a very dirty and dangerous job. While not necessarily dull, industrial inspections definitely cover two of the three Ds of robotics deployment (dull, dirty, and dangerous). Industrial inspections can range from inspecting operational assets and operational facilities to inspecting defunct facilities during the decommissioning process or evaluating the health and risk of nonoperational holding tanks. Doing this job is necessary, but it is often very expensive and very dangerous. Robotics is helping organizations to improve safety during these inspections and also helping to drive down the cost and resources required to conduct the inspections.

标题：WASP Print $1000 House Using Natural Ingredients
参考译名：WASP使用天然原料打印1000美元的房子
简介：WASP has been a prominent force in 3D printing and have now also moved further into its construction applications. The construction field is offering a lot of economical opportunities but WASP appear to have taken the cake. The company has just built Gaia, a $1000 house consisting of earth and rice husks. The house could be a core solution to the affordable housing crisis.
“The material consists of clay earth, rice straw, and rice husk,” Massimo Moretti, CEO of WASP, told Digital Trends. “The natural fibers allow [us to minimize] the shrinkage of the dry mixture and confer mechanical strength to the layered wall. By using the wet pan mill, the raw mixture has reached an interesting homogeneous plasticity that permits a good resolution in printed texture.” Aside from the earth-and-rice-based material, concrete makes up the main building foundations, while the roof is mostly timber. The building is 215-square-feet, taking around 10 days to complete. Additional time would be required to properly furnish the place but this timescale is very impressive. The $1,000 price tag wouldn’t hold up for a commercial build as this only includes material costs and not labor. Still, the material price alone is impressive.

标题：Mitsubishi Introduces Dot Forming 3D Printing Tech
参考译名：三菱公司引进点成型3D打印技术
简介：Mitsubishi Electric Company appear to be dipping their toes into the additive manufacturing industry with their new dot forming technology. Dot forming is a high speed, high quality mix of a few different technologies jumbled together. It takes aspects of laser forming, computer numerical control (CNC) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM). As one would expect, Mitsubishi are leveraging the new technique for automotive and aerospace production.
The method is quite similar to DED, in that it also uses a metal wire and extruder mechanism. This can be quite inexpensive, as the process could use common laser welding wires for objects. Unlike DED however, the nozzle is not stationary to a specific axis and can move in multiple directions. As with most forms of 3D printing, the machine builds the model on a surface from bottom to top, layer by layer. The machine controls pulsed laser irradiation, the supply of metal wires and shield gas and the shaping position to form the object. It has an accuracy 60 percent higher than other more conventional consecutive forming technologies. Another advantage over traditional forming is that of reduced oxidation by a factor of more than 20 percent due to how high temperature areas are limited to a narrow spot forming area.

标题：生物3D打印再突破 器官移植指日可待？
简介：生物3D打印，就如同切土豆的逆过程，即将土豆片、土豆丝、土豆丁及土豆泥反向组装成土豆。然而，组装出的土豆内的细胞虽然有很好的活性，但这样的土豆种到地里却很难直接发芽（打印出的器官与体内器官从功能上来说还有较大的差距），这种“形似而神不似”的问题正是当下生物3D打印面临的瓶颈之一。

标题：The Use of Virtual Manufacturing Features in forward Manufacturing Process Planning
参考译名：制造过程规划中虚拟制造特性的应用
摘要：CAPP system is the missing link between CAD/CAM system. Two types of operation of CAPP systems can be distinguished. The first one is the backward process planning, where the part is transformed from its ready state to the stock state. The second method is the forward planning, where the stock is transformed into the finished part. Backward process planning allow for the greater degree of automation, but is difficult for the acceptation among the industrial users. One of the problem in the forward process planning is the necessity to use the manufacturing features which do not occur in the finished part, they occur only in the part intermediate states. The paper propose so called virtual manufacturing features to solve this problem.

标题：Manufacturing service reliability assessment in cloud manufacturing
参考译名：云制造中的服务可靠性评估
摘要：Reliability of manufacturing resources is an important measure for ensuring quality of service (QoS) and for carrying out service evaluation, and trust modelling in a cloud manufacturing environment. However, no extensive study of this measure has been carried out. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical reliability assessment model to assess manufacturing service reliability. First, we evaluate the reliability of manufacturing resources within an enterprise at three different levels, i.e. component, machine and system level. Then, the system level is extended to form collaborative systems among distributed manufacturing resources by considering logistic reliability. Second, the reliability of the cloud system is also assessed. Finally, by identifying the relationship among different levels of reliability, we formulate the reliability of the entire cloud manufacturing system. A real world case study is presented to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model.

标题：Sensor-Based Inspection of the Formation Accuracy in Ultra-Precision Grinding (UPG) of Aspheric Surface Considering the Chatter Vibration
参考译名：基于传感器的非球面超精密磨削(UPG)成形精度检测
摘要：This paper proposes an experimental approach for monitoring and inspection of the formation accuracy in ultra-precision grinding (UPG) with respect to the chatter vibration. Two factors related to the grinding progress, the grinding speed of grinding wheel and spindle, and the oil pressure of the hydrostatic bearing are taken into account to determining the accuracy. In the meantime, a mathematical model of the radius deviation caused by the micro vibration is also established and applied in the experiments. The results show that the accuracy is sensitive to the vibration and the forming accuracy is much improved with proper processing parameters. It is found that the accuracy of aspheric surface can be less than 4 μm when the grinding speed is 1400 r/min and the wheel speed is 100 r/min with the oil pressure being 1.1 MPa.

标题：Introducing the World’s Most Powerful Tidal Turbine
参考译名：世界上最强潮汐涡轮机介绍
摘要：The ocean’s a massive thing. And with that other massive thing, the moon, it creates tides of massive power. If you want a piece of it, you need a massive turbine.The folks at SIMEC Atlantis Energy have created just that. Their AR2000 will be the largest single rotor tidal turbine that the seas have ever turned.At 2-megawatt, AR2000 will be the world’s largest and most powerful single rotor tidal turbine. Image: SIMEC Atlantis Energy.It is not, however, the largest in size, but in power—it has a maximum output of 2 MW. In fact, it’s the same size as its predecessor, the AR1500, a 1.5-MW turbine. But getting the same power out the same size required some serious engineering ingenuity.

摘要：America’s trade deficit with China has cost 3.4 million U.S. jobs since 2001 and is a major contributor to widening economic inequality, according to a study released Tuesday by the Economic Policy Institute.Not surprisingly, the manufacturing sector has suffered the most because of America’s lopsided trade relationship with China, losing 2.5 million jobs between 2001 and 2017. But every state and every congressional district has seen job loss as a direct result of the growing China trade deficit, and the study shows that the wider economy continues to be dragged down by the growing deficit.
