Integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the automotive industry has brought benefits as well as security challenges. Significant benefits include enhanced passenger safety and more comprehensive vehicle performance diagnostics. However, current onboard and remote vehicle diagnostics do not include the ability to detect counterfeit parts. A method is needed to verify authentic parts along the automotive supply chain from manufacture through installation and to coordinate part authentication with a secure database. In this study, we develop an architecture for anti-counterfeiting in automotive supply chains. The core of the architecture consists of a cyber-physical trust anchor and authentication mechanisms connected to blockchain-based tracking processes with cloud storage. The key parameters for linking a cyber-physical trust anchor in embedded IoT include identifiers (i.e., serial numbers, special features, hashes), authentication algorithms, blockchain, and sensors. A use case was provided by a two-year long implementation of simple trust anchors and tracking for a coffee supply chain which suggests a low-cost part authentication strategy could be successfully applied to vehicles. The challenge is authenticating parts not normally connected to main vehicle communication networks. Therefore, we advance the coffee bean model with an acoustical sensor to differentiate between authentic and counterfeit tires onboard the vehicle. The workload of secure supply chain development can be shared with the development of the connected autonomous vehicle networks, as the fleet performance is degraded by vehicles with questionable replacement parts of uncertain reliability.
We report progress towards development of a cyber-physical trust anchor for additive manufacturing systems. The additive manufacturing commercial sector needs cyber-physical trust anchors to establish a secure supply chain, to detect counterfeiting and to ensure part provenance. However, the underlying technology of cyber-physical trust anchors requires optimization and spans several sectors ranging from mathematics, additive manufacturing, materials science, nondestructive evaluation, to cyber science. The fast and effective deployment of cyber-physical trust anchors requires an educational component. This project present a novel method for authenticating additively manufactured parts. Features are extracted using advanced X-ray imaging, transformed into unique identifiers, and bound with security features for cloud-based blockchain authentication. A plan for the low-cost and safe incorporation of cyber-physical trust anchor research in education is included. The anticipated outcome is an optimized trust anchor prototype and educational product suitable for interdisciplinary research and coursework to develop the workforce needed for cyber-secured physical supply chainsd.

This paper proposes a conceptual architecture of digital twin with human-in-the-loop-based smart manufacturing (DH-SM). Our proposed architecture integrates cyber-physical systems with human spaces, where artificial intelligence and human cognition are employed jointly to make informed decisions. This will enable real-time, collaborative decision-making between humans, software, and machines. For example, when evaluating a new product design, information about the product’s physical features, manufacturing requirements, and customer demands must be processed concurrently. Moreover, the DH-SM architecture enables the creation of an immersive environment that allows customers to be effectively involved in the manufacturing process. The DH-SM architecture is well fitted to those relatively new manufacturing processes, such as metal additive manufacturing, since they can benefit from using digital twins, data analytics, and artificial intelligence for monitoring and controlling those processes to support non-contact manufacturing. The proposed DH-SM will enable manufacturers to leverage the existing cyber-physical system and extended reality technologies to generate immersive experiences for end users, operators, managers, and stakeholders. A use case of wire + arc additive manufacturing is discussed to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed architecture. Relevant development and implementation challenges are also discussed.more » « less

The necessity for educational programs in advanced manufacturing became prominent during the economic crisis in 2007 when the demand of industrial plants was for already trained highly-skilled laborers. To respond to this demand, many advanced manufacturing educational pro-grams, such as mechatronics, were developed in community and technical colleges. Since it was officially defined in the United States Congress in 2015, Smart Manufacturing (SM) has increasingly been under the spotlight. However, current efforts in deploying SM technologies in the US do not provide a workforce trained to utilize and perform SM technologies and techniques. Graduates of mechatronics and other advanced manufacturing programs remain mostly unaware of the technologies of Smart Manufacturing, such as Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Industry 4.0 standards, and the capacity and range of applications of additive manufacturing and high-precision subtractive manufacturing technologies from tooling to end-user products. The programs currently available do not provide workforce training on SM technologies that target community and technical colleges, which supply a significant percentage of the industrial workforce. In the project Smart Manufacturing for America’s Revolutionizing Technological Transformation (SMART2), this gap in workforce training is met by providing the needed training to career technical education (CTE) and STEM educators in mechatronics and engineering technology. This project is a collaborative effort among three institutions and provides professional training for faculty of advanced manufacturing education programs and an online knowledge-base platform for educators and manufacturers, as well as on-ground training work-shops and educational modules.more » « less

Abstract The advancement of sensing technology enables efficient data collection from manufacturing systems for monitoring and control. Furthermore, with the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and information technologies, more and more manufacturing systems become cyber-enabled, facilitating real-time data sharing and information exchange, which significantly improves the flexibility and efficiency of manufacturing systems. However, the cyber-enabled environment may pose the collected sensor data under high risks of cyber-physical attacks during the data and information sharing. Specifically, cyber-physical attacks could target the manufacturing process and/or the data transmission process to maliciously tamper the sensor data, resulting in false alarms or failures in anomaly detection in monitoring. In addition, the cyber-physical attacks may also enable illegal data access without authorization and cause the leakage of key product/process information. Therefore, it becomes critical to develop an effective approach to protect data from these attacks so that the cyber-physical security of the manufacturing systems could be assured in the cyber-enabled environment. To achieve this goal, this paper proposes an integrative blockchain-enabled data protection method by leveraging camouflaged asymmetry encryption. A real-world case study that protects cyber-physical security of collected sensor data in additive manufacturing is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results demonstrate that malicious tampering could be detected in a relatively short time (less than 0.05ms) and the risk of unauthorized data access is significantly reduced as well.

The development of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT) has influenced Cyber-Physical Manufacturing Systems (CPMS). Collaborative manufacturing among organizations with geographically distributed operations using Nanomanufacturing (NM) requires integrated networking for enhanced productivity. The present research provides a unique cyber nanomanufacturing framework by combining digital design with various artificial neural networks (ANN) approaches to predict the optimal nano/micro-manufacturing process. It enables the visualization tool for real-time allocation of nano/micro-manufacturing resources to simulate machine availability for five types of NM processes in real-time for a dynamic machine identification system. This research establishes a foundation for a smart agent system with predictive capabilities for cyber nanomanufacturing in real-time.more » « less
