One major challenge in digitalisation projects is acquiring data from industrial machinery and equipment due to proprietary industrial protocols. Integrating the “Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)” has spurred digitalisation in manufacturing, enhancing productivity and reliability while lowering labour costs. IIoT links industrial machinery like PLCs, CNCs, and robots via a robust network, generating crucial data for automation. However, due to cost constraints, acquiring data from legacy machines, which use diverse communication protocols, poses a significant challenge, particularly for MSMEs. This paper explores leveraging open-source frameworks for real-time data acquisition from industrial machines in Industry 4.0. Through several test cases, the paper demonstrates the feasibility and benefits of using open-source solutions over vendor-specific licensed software. Additionally, it validates “Wireshark” as a versatile open-source tool for data acquisition across various vendor-specific machines, utilising standard communication protocols. This research offers a pioneering approach to digitalising MSME manufacturing industries while minimising costs efficiently.</p> Tadigotla Narendra Reddy Prasad Prasannan Seema B.

Some of the important process variables that affect the deformation process are the input energy, height of the Hydraulic column, and properties of the work material. The speed of deformation and pressures generated are quite low compared to other unconventional forming processes. In the present work in Taguchi DoE technique is used to find the effect of input parameters on the deformation of superni 718. and also an attempt is made towards green manufacturing by adopting used gear and vegetable oils as working fluids.</p> E.
