Sumario:Starting with a product quality problem, this paper presents the practical applications of Industry 4.0 technology to solve the problem in manufacturing technique and to establish manufacturing process control in new product introduction (NPI) with flexibility and reconfigurability, under the condition that this is a new plant with limited resources. With regard to solving the manufacturing technique problem, the Finite Element Method (FEM) has been used to analyze failure mode and to support design optimization, the regression analysis has been adopted to obtain the force-deformation relationship and to guide the improvement for manufacturing parameter adaptation. The analysis method that combined the FEM analysis and the regression analysis can be an effective approach for dealing with manufacturing technique problem. With regard to establishing the manufacturing process control, the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) implementation functions as the medium for data transfer and for status confirmation, thus realizing the process control and the quality control in the form of cyber-physical system (CPS). Data strategy of the process control and the quality control can be applied to general manufacturing system. The Industry 4.0 implementations and methods mentioned in this paper can serve as a reference for the company that are planning to build a small or medium-sized manufacturing plant and to enhance its performance with Industry 4.0.
