摘要

隨著工業4.0時代的來臨，未來工廠將逐漸由「自動化製造」變成「自動化智造」。因此，本研究主要為將傳統的精密機械領域跨入到具備物聯網(Internet of Things，縮寫：IoT)與機器到機器(Machine to Machine，縮寫：M2M)的智慧聯網之應用設計，其最終目的為實現一個以工業4.0為雛型之3D印表機列印智慧製造工廠。而於工廠內部3D印表機列印生產線中，可分為5大站點，且在每一個站點之間使用嵌入式開發平台作為閘道器，主要作為連接異質網路和處理通訊協定轉換。其中，透過MQTT通訊協定，達成各站點M2M之間的溝通，並實現有線(Modbus與UART)與無線(WIFI)網路之異質連網。由於傳統機台不具備智慧化的功能，再加上一般精密機械機台的價格不菲，因此於本研究中在每一個站點內部之機台上嵌入本研究所自行設計的物聯網模組，使得傳統機台也能具備智慧化功能。
藉由M2M與物聯網的網路架構結合其他不同站點，使各個站點之間可彼此互相溝通與運作。最後，將其結合智慧型手持式裝置，讓消費者可從一開始的產品客製化選擇、商品製作與到商品運送流程都能全程參與。另外，工廠工作人員可透過電腦程式來監看生產線的狀況，其可減省人力資源的分配和透過數據的收集與分析，使機台發生故障或當機的損失降到最低。最終以達到「個性化製造」與「無人化」之智慧製造工廠，滿足工業4.0智慧製造之目的。

Following the trend of Industry 4.0, a future factory will adapt itself from ‘automated manufacturing’ into ‘smart-automated manufacturing’. Thus, this paper aims to create a system that integrates the traditional refined mechanics with the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M). Based on the concept of Industry 4.0, the ultimate goal is to integrate 3D printer with the smart factory. In the smart 3D printer factory, the internal production line could be divided into five stations, using embedded development platform as the gateway to connect the heterogeneous network and process the protocol translation. The MQTT communication protocol is used to establish communication between the stations in order to create a heterogeneous network of Modbus and UART as well as WIFI. Due to the fact that most of the traditional machines of refined mechanics are expensive and not smart at all, this research designs an IoT module embedded on the machines at the five stations, making the traditional machines become smart.
With M2M and IoT network connection to connect the stations together, this creates the communication between these stations. Then connecting the smart production line with any smart handheld device could enable customers to customize their products from design, manufacturing to shipment. Moreover, factory staff can also monitor the production line via the computer program. Therefore, the loss caused by machine failure or crash could be reduced with even less human resources to conduct the data collection and analysis. In the end, a smart manufacturing factory is realized to be ‘customized’ and ‘unmanned’ as an ultimate goal of smart manufacturing in the era of Industry 4.0.
