Secure and Intelligent Casting: Blockchain and IIoT in CPS-Driven Vertical Centrifugal
摘要
Manufacturing processes are fundamental to the economic development of any nation, particularly as conventional manufacturing systems evolve into Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) to enhance operational efficiency. The integration of CPS with the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has gained prominence due to the substantial data generated by manufacturing operations, necessitating advanced measures for data security and privacy. Despite significant progress, the application of CPS in certain manufacturing domains, such as metal casting, remains insufficiently explored. This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of over 5,700 publications from Scopus® and Web of Science® databases over the past decade, highlighting a notable research gap concerning CPS implementation in vertical centrifugal casting a critical metal casting process. To address this, the research demonstrates the development and laboratory-scale implementation of CPS components for vertical centrifugal casting, including the physical system, its transformation into an IIoT-enabled framework, digital twin creation, and Blockchain integration. The multidisciplinary approach established herein enhances system transparency, security, and trustworthiness, offering a viable pathway for industrial adoption. The findings contribute to bridging the technological gap in metal casting manufacturing, promoting scalable, secure, and efficient CPS applications. This work underscores the potential for advancing manufacturing practices through the convergence of emerging digital technologies with traditional production systems.
