Internet-enabled services (such as cloud-based and mobile applications) have been influential through almost all economic sectors, such as retail, music, transportation, and healthcare, which have proven the benefit of performing analytics on historical data from a networked system. However, compared to existing Internet-enabled industries, manufacturing assets are less connected and less accessible in real-time. As a result, current manufacturing enterprises make decisions following a top-down approach: from overall equipment effectiveness to assignment of production requirements, without considering the condition of machines. This EArly-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) award supports fundamental research to develop the concepts and theory for next-generation advanced cybermanufacturing systems that are networked and interoperable through analytics on the fleet-sourced data. Cybermanufacturing systems will enable a bottom-up real-time decision support manufacturing strategy by taking into account asset health conditions predicted based on historical asset data. Eventually, mobile applications will be developed for portable access of the actionable information. Since such analytics can be performed on data collected from existing asset condition monitoring systems with moderate levels of add-on sensor installment, manufacturing industries in almost every sector will benefit from the results of this research. Consequently, this research will inject speed into the development of U.S. economy and benefit the society by increasing the efficiency and productivity of manufacturing enterprises. This research requires knowledge and expertise from a variety of disciplines including manufacturing, mechanical engineering, computer science, and control theory. The interdisciplinary methodology will facilitate the creativity and healthy growth of the involved areas and draw interest from younger generation to impact science, technology, engineering and mathematics education.The new cybermanufacturing methodology will deepen the research on fleet-sourced prognostics, which overcomes several drawbacks of conventional prognostics and health management approaches, including lack of generality and reconfigurability, lack of robustness against changing regimes, and sometimes insufficient accuracy. A fleet is referred to as a group of assets similar in working conditions (make and model, ambient conditions, and health status). Research gaps in conducting fleet-sourced prognostics exist in the quantification of asset similarity, clustering fleets, validation of such fleets, and dynamically changing the clustering scheme when regimes change. The research team will leverage existing fleet-level peer-to-peer prognostics approaches to develop a reconfigurable platform with capabilities to reduce the dimensionality from fleet-sourced data, devise a risk assessment methodology to provide real-time predictive actionable information, and eventually incorporate such functions into the developed mobile applications.

支持互联网的服务（例如基于云的应用程序和移动的应用程序）几乎对所有经济部门都有影响，例如零售、音乐、运输和医疗保健，这些部门已经证明了对来自网络系统的历史数据进行分析的好处。然而，与现有的互联网支持的行业相比，制造业资产的连接程度较低，实时访问性较差。因此，当前的制造企业采用自上而下的方法进行决策：从整体设备效率到生产需求分配，而不考虑机器的状况。EARLY概念探索性研究资助（EAGER）奖支持基础研究，为下一代先进网络制造系统开发概念和理论，这些系统通过对车队数据的分析实现网络化和互操作。网络制造系统将通过考虑基于历史资产数据预测的资产健康状况，实现自下而上的实时决策支持制造战略。最终，将开发移动的应用程序，以便便携式地访问可操作的信息。由于这种分析可以对从现有的资产状况监测系统收集的数据进行分析，这些系统具有中等水平的附加传感器安装，因此几乎每个行业的制造业都将受益于这项研究的结果。因此，这项研究将为美国经济的发展注入速度，并通过提高制造企业的效率和生产率来造福社会。这项研究需要来自各种学科的知识和专业知识，包括制造，机械工程，计算机科学和控制理论。跨学科方法将促进相关领域的创造性和健康发展，吸引年轻一代的兴趣，影响科学，技术，工程和数学教育。新的网络制造方法将深化对舰队来源的生命周期的研究，克服了传统生命周期和健康管理方法的一些缺点，包括缺乏通用性和可重构性，对变化的制度缺乏鲁棒性，有时准确性不足。车队是指一组在工作条件（品牌和型号、环境条件和健康状况）方面相似的资产。在进行车队来源的统计学的研究差距存在于量化的资产相似性，集群车队，验证这样的车队，并动态改变集群方案时，政权的变化。该研究团队将利用现有的车队级对等网络方法来开发一个可重新配置的平台，该平台具有从车队来源的数据中减少维度的能力，设计一种风险评估方法来提供实时预测性可操作信息，并最终将这些功能纳入已开发的移动的应用程序中。
