Iterative industrial prototyping for Industry 4.0: data collection for factory-design simulation in seafood processing

ABSTRACT: This paper reports iterative industrial prototyping of data collection systems for simulating seafood factories. We identify the data necessary to achieve the level of realism factory designers need for effective design exploration, and propose methods to obtain them. Sixteen physical prototypes showed how prototyping shape dynamic requirements in the design process. Findings indicate that models need 3D shape and texture, which can be obtained from smartphone photogrammetry, and bending stiffness and multidirectional friction from cantilever and inclined plane tests.
