Abstract
Energy consumption evaluation and analysis (ECEA) of a product entire life cycle is a key issue for realising green and sustainable manufacturing. In this paper, an Internet-of-things (IoT) and cloud-based novel approach for product ECEA is proposed in which the IoT technologies are employed for real-time and dynamic collection of energy consumption-related data, and various ECEA functions are developed and encapsulated into services which are managed in a cloud. An experimental bench and a cloud-based software system are developed, and a case study is provided to test and illustrate the effectiveness of the approach in a product’s design and manufacturing processes.Keywords
