Following is the details for my Research work.

Request to please go through it and


suggest the correction or ideas to implement into research project.

Research Topic: To check the feasibility for implementation of Industry 4.0 in Aluminum
Production unit.
Background:  For Aluminum production unit there are various issues in Maintenance.
This is particularly due to not getting real time process parameter data. As many of the
data collection system is manual, there are manual error and machines not run with
complete output.
Motivation for the Topic: If we implement real time data collection system using different
Sensors and technology of Industry 4.0, it will help for getting better maintenance and
output from different machines. For example we need different Water flow rate while
casting, by manual setting its parameter is not exactly match also the feedback system
is also manual. This makes error and is time consuming and may not give the correct
result.
Research Objective: 
1. To check the feasibility of implementation of Industry 4.0 in Aluminum production
Industry.
2. To analyze and check the effect of Industry 4.0 on different process and machines.
Research Question: 
1. How can my organization get better result by implementing Industry 4.0?
 
Methodology: Mixed methodology
1. Quantitative:
a. How much breakdown time in month/ year on different location due mismatch of
Manual parameter reading? This data will be collected for last 2 years.
b. Tangible and intangible loss.
2. Qualitative:  What are the issues in Manual parameter reading?
 
Data Collection:
1. Questioning: Questioning to Operators and Managers of various Workstation.
2. Breakdown trends from last two years
3. Data collection from workstation about what are the parameters/ how it is read/ their
impact on productivity.
4. Observed details where online data system is installed.
