Abstracts of the Third Smart Manufacturing Workshop

Session 1 (10:15- 10:45 AM):

Dr. Khalid Tantawi, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Chattanooga, TN, “Advances in Smart Manufacturing: Future trends and Policies Worldwide”

The current state and future trends in Smart Manufacturing (SM) are assessed with the perspective of economical growth and evolution of policies and strategies that steer its growth. Current data show that intelligent industrial robotics experience rapid growth in East Asian markets, that a “robotics revolution” is taking place in that region, with China dominating the industrial robotics market. Although Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has experienced steady growth, manufacturers are still hesitant to deploy wireless technologies in control operations that require deterministic and real time response, in addition to the risk of data breach of wireless sensor data. Many industrial powers adopted policies that aim at developing smart manufacturing such as Germany's Industrie 4.0 and Japan's Society 5.0.

Session 2 (10:45- 11:15 AM):

Jeremy Near, Danny Duong, Cooper Smith, and Todd Martin, Nissan Automotive Plant, Smyrna, TN “New Technologies for Manufacturing Maintenance”

The role of the Nissan Maintenance Digital Acceleration team in Smyrna, TN is to identify, develop, and deploy new technologies that reduce maintenance cost and increase maintenance efficiency and effectiveness. Since its inception in 2018, the DA team has deployed over a dozen new technologies in the Smyrna facility, with many also being deployed regionally at other Nissan facilities. In this discussion, the team will discuss 3 projects (Mobile Workstations, Conveyor Rail Wear Monitoring, PdM Analytics), and describe how they have added value for our maintenance teams and our business.

Session 3 (11:30 AM- 12:00 PM):

Dr. Karen Birch, Tunxis Community College, Farmington, CT “Flying High in the Classroom Using Drones”

In addition to academic program and transfer pathway development, the College of Technology (COT) and Regional Center for Next Generation Manufacturing (RCNGM) provides extracurricular programming for high school and community college students to enhance both their professional and technical skills in preparation for entry into the advanced manufacturing workforce. Technical skills such as coding drones has been a successful addition to capture the interest of students in pursuing advanced manufacturing careers. Best practices from these programs are disseminated through educator professional development programs so the same professional and technical skills can be incorporated into classrooms nationwide.

Session 4 (12:00- 12:30 PM):

Dr. Marilyn Barger, Florida Advanced Technological Education Center (Fl-ATE), Tampa, FL, “The Future of Work for Florida’s Manufacturing Technicians”

Defining future skills sets for technicians is an ongoing and accelerating task. FLATE, a part of the FloridaMakes network recently conducted a survey and Caucus of industry and educators to define what those skills are in Florida. This presentation will provide a summary of the survey results as well as the output from the Caucus event.

Session 5 (12:30- 1:00 PM):

Dr. Ismail Fidan, Tennessee Technological University, Cookeville, TN “Low-Cost 3D Printing for STEM Teaching and Workforce”

The use of 3D Printing is growing in several STEM fields. This presentation will report the latest low-cost 3D Printing technologies and their use in STEM learning and practices.

Session 6 (1:30- 2:00 PM):

Dean Phillips, Society of Manufacturing Engineers, Nashville, TN “Smart Technology, Gathering The Right Data”

This presentation will be focused around understanding how education and technology will impact our future workforce and how to uncover the diamond hidden within: Data in Education (Hidden Data); Importance of Educators and our future; Analytics- Not everything that is measured is important, Not everything that is important is measured! Importance of understanding where we came from (History) (warts and all); Setting Benchmarks; Artificial Intelligence; Lessons Learned (Language of our future) (voice First); Risk analysis; Removing obstacles (Lean thoughts); Encourage development, greater opportunities for entrepreneurs; Don’t ignore soft skills. Frank Lloyd Wright, Be our future!

Session 7 (2:00- 2:30 PM):

Andy Warren and Brian Robinson, Bridgestone Americas, Inc., Nashville, TN “Handling Maintenance and Technology during the CoVid-19 Pandemic at Bridgestone”

Bridgestone continues to innovate through tire manufacturing. Challenges constantly arise, but especially more now than ever seeing how the pandemic continues to affect the industry. To keep our production and facilities running we have taken on new challenges and new ways to work through technologies such as Augmented and Mixed Reality, Remote Support, etc. We will take a closer look at the problems and successes that have come from implementing these technologies.

Session 8 (2:30- 3:00 PM):

Leila Firestone, Robolink, San Diego, CA “Professional Development: The Codrone Pro”

This is a 30-minute professional development session by the manufacturer of the Codrone Pro educational kits.

Software Installation and Setup:

Step 1: Download and Install the Arduino programming environment:

https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

Step 2: Install the CoDrone Library through the Arduino Library Manager:

Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries

A dialog box pops up, in the search box type CoDrone

CoDrone by Robolink appears, select library and click on install.

Step 3: Installing the Hardware Files:

File -> Preferences (for Windows) Arduino -> Preferences (for Mac)

Under Additional Boards Manager URLs, Paste the following URL:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RobolinkInc/Robolink/master/package_rokit_index.json

Press OK to close the Preferences window

Go to: Tools-> Boards-> Boards Manager

Change the type from All to Cobtributed, then find the package ‘rokit by ROBOLINK’ and install it.

Step 4: Installing the USB drive:

Go to Silabs (https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers ) and download the driver software for your operating system.

Extract and run the file: ‘CP210xVCPInstaller_x…exe’

Note: click on Computer then Properties to know if you have a 64-bit or 84-bit system

Note for MAC computers: If you are using a MAC computer, you need to open the DMG file, then open the Legacy MacVCP Driver folder, then open the file Silicon Labs VCP Driver.pkg which is inside the Legacy MacVCP Driver folder.

To download a program to the device:

• Turn dip swith 1 to the ON position.

• Press the reset button (located right below the dipswitches). After that, only the far right blue LED light starts blinking.

• On the bluetooth module, the LED light on the bluetooth module should be blinking green, if it blinks red, press the reset button once (located right below the LED light).

• Go to Tools -> Boards and select Rokit-Smartinventor-mega32_v2

• Go to Tools -> Port and select the port to which the remote device is connected. (If you are using a MAC, the port may be SLAB_USBtoUART )

• To upload the default flight control program: go to File -> Examples -> CoDrone -> Controller -> FlightController

• To start the upload, click on the upload button (arrow pointing to the right), when the upload is successfull, you will see "Done Uploading" displayed at the bottom left corner of the screen.

• Move the dipswitch back to the off position

Downloading the Default Flight Controller Program on to the Drone:

By default the Flight Controller Program is installed on your drone, but if you erase it, you can download it to the drone as follows:

1. Make sure the remote control power button is in the OFF position, then connect remote to your computer via the USB connection.

2. Turn the DIP switch # 1 to the ON position (in the upwards direction)

3. Press the black reset button on the controller board. A single blue LED starts flashing and all other LEDs turn off

4. Make sure that the Bluetooth module has one LED flashing red color, if the green LED flashes, press the reset button on the Bluetooth module.

5. Open Arduino on your computer.

6. Go to: File > Examples> CoDrone> Controller>Flight Controller

7. Go to: Tools > Board>”Rockit SmartInventor-mega32_V2”

8. Select proper communication Port: Tools >Port> Com5 (for instance)

9. Return the DIP switch to the OFF position and turn on remote
