How Big Data Transforms Manufacturing Industry: A Review Paper

Big Data In Manufacturing Industry

Manufacturing is one of the main areas of Big Data applications and it can be described as a 5M system consisting of materials, machines, methods, measurements and modeling (Lee et al., 2013). Big Data provides a transparent infrastructure for manufacturing that addresses such uncertainties as inconsistent component performance and availability (Inukollu, 2014). One of the Big Data applications in manufacturing is predictive manufacturing and its conceptual framework starts with data collection, where it is possible to obtain different types of sensory data such as stress, vibration, acoustics, voltage, current, and controller data (Inukollu, 2014). These sensory data combine with historical data to form the Big Data for manufacturing.
