Abstract

Technological developments in the manufacturing industry have accelerated recently. Although many traditional manufacturing factories had adopted automated production, owing to the inability to control the status of individual tools, it is challenging for manufacturers to accurately track the real time status of production line tools. To bring smart production into existence, a robust database system needs to be ensured. New models of computer numerical control machines are equipped with a built-in tool management system (TMS), but most versions of this system are only able to set a machining time limit or a total number of workpieces limit for each tool to determine tool replacement intervals. Such system could likely cause early tool replacement, resulting in waste and increased tool costs. In order to implement green manufacturing, the prediction of tool wear is essential to reduce wastage of materials. In this study, we developed a TMS that is based on a not only SQL (NoSQL) database, which not only stores several different types of data, but also can store prediction models to make it suitable for the demands of varying enterprise scales. It will be more helpful to ensure processing safety and effectively reduce manufacturing costs.
