Framework for Holistic Online Optimization of Milling Machine Conditions to Enhance Machine Efficiency and Sustainability
Open Access
Abstract
This study addresses the challenge of the optimization of milling in industrial production, focusing on developing and applying a novel framework for optimising manufacturing processes. Recognising a gap in current methods, the research primarily targets the underutilisation of advanced data analysis and machine learning techniques in industrial settings. The proposed framework integrates these technologies to refine machining parameters more effectively than conventional approaches. The research method involved the development of the framework for the realisation and analysis of measurement data from milling machines, focusing on six machine parts and employing a machine learning system for optimization and evaluation. The developed and realised framework in the form of a software demonstrator showed its applicability in different experiments. This research enables easy deployment of data-driven techniques for sustainable industrial practices, highlighting the potential of this framework for transforming manufacturing processes.Keywords
