Factory design
Before a factory is set there must be a set layout and design which is simply how the factory
will look like and the operations to be carried out in it .In consideration of layout and
design ,utilities and workflows are the key .The first important element in this case is application
of this factory design .the main functions of each application must be recognized
Plant layout is the other key element which is simply the optimum arrangement of facilities .this
entails several principles which includes principles of ;minimum movement ,space utilization,
flexibility, interdependence safety e.t.c just but to name a few .
The commonly studied layout are process layout , product layout ,combination and fixed layout
.each layout has its advantages and disadvantages . the factory still has some important aspects
that guides its planning ; this satisfactory guides are location i.e the place the factory will be
built at ,accessibility ; the place should be easily accessible, space for extension in future may be
due to demand ,foundation planning ,build walls ,plant with the final product in mind ,plant for
work ways ,automation or manual usage .
The importance of factory design and layout planning is key in the success of every factory .
This is due to the fact that planning promotes development of factory in a very correct and
strategic position where the products to be used are readily available .
This videos have played really a great deal in shaping my understanding of factory set up
needed.

INDUSTRIAL HEALTH
Health is wealth and maintenance of health at all time is crucial. Health thus is the absence of
disease as safety is the absence of risk of serious personal injury. Health being this important has
several barriers which are; complexity, conflicting demands and behavioral issues. therefore in
consideration 0f this industrial health has the following key areas ; fire safety, work place
safety ,personal protective equipment and control of substance as hazards to health .
Reasons for maintaining of good health standards
a. Moral
b. Social
c. Ergonomic
Hazards at workplace
a. Safety
b. Chemical
c. Biological
d. Physical
e. Ergonomic
Stages of health and safety management system
a. Plan
b. Do
c. Check
d. Act
STEPS TO CONTROLLING WORKPLACE HAZARDS
a. Design
b. Substitute with safer things
c. Isolate the hazards
d. Use engineering control
e. Use administrative control
f. Use of person protective equipment.

Technologies for manufacturing systems

The twenty first century most of the operation are machine done .due the
increased demand ,onset of mass productionand uniformity in production led the
development of numerical systems .
CANC incorporates intergral computer process to control machine productions

i. Spindle rotation
ii. Tool changing
iii. Work piece movement
iv. Cutting liquid tool
v. Shaping
Advantages of CANC
a. Increased part production
b. Production flexibility
c. Greater machining accuracy
d. More programming versatility

OPERATIONS OF CANC
i. Tuning
ii. Milling
iii. Welding
iv. Lazer cutting

Parts program contains programing production

Factory wiz machine offers means which are important in data

collection with aid decision making thus enabling the user to do
caculations and understand whether they are making profits or not .
Wiz monitoring machines helps in ditections of looses hence a means
to correct them before it is too late .it always aids in collection of raw
data needed in decision making .due to it being comprised ,the storage
of data is efficient and more reliable since it can be retrieved at any
given time from the owners or managers place of need as long as he
/she has the account details hence avoiding the problems of loose due
misplacement and poor storage mechanisms.

SCADA systems are used to control and monitor physical processes such as the transmission of
electricity, transportation of gas and oil in pipelines, and water distribution systems. The history
of SCADA systems can be traced back to the telemetry systems developed for the space
program, and it has evolved to use microprocessors and integrated circuits for digital telemetry
systems that can multiplex data and provide all the necessary information

The architecture of SCADA includes a control center, which is a computer system connected
with the Ethernet port, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that are connected to various
field instruments. The two important elements involved in modern SCADA systems are the RTU
and the central station computer. The SCADA system communicates in real-time with the
controllers out in the field that are running the actual process, and it gathers information from
these field controllers.

Industrial internet of things
The industrial internet of things is an industrial mechanism for collection of data which enable
the industries carry out its daily operations effectively . IIOT therefore refers to an industrial
framework whereby a large number of devices or machines are connected and synchronized
through the use of software tools and third platform technologies in a machine-tomachine and
Internet of Things context, later an Industry 4.0 or Industrial Internet context. In the early days of
IIOT most of those devices would send all the data they collected to the cloud for analysis. The
transmission of data however faces many challenges key among limitations in network capacity,
cost of transmission among other. Edge computing offers a solution to the challenges faced since
it helps IIOT devices process some of that data locally instead of sending it to the cloud. Edge
computing is a computationally efficient, secure, private, cost-effective way to utilize the
Internet of Things at scale without running the risk of data breaches or network overloads.
Additionally, edge computing offers a layer of resilience and redundancy for missioncritical
tasks
