TL;DR: An approach that seeks to describe friction by modelling the geometric surface roughness of the tool by using a finite-element-based model has been validated experimentally in terms of loads and metal forming using the ring test and actual surface measurements.
Abstract: For the simulation of metal forming processes, input data relating to the tool–workpiece interface is necessary. For microforming applications, this input data becomes very much more critical and traditional methods are not realistic. This paper describes an approach that seeks to describe friction by modelling the geometric surface roughness of the tool. This finite-element-based model has been validated experimentally in terms of loads and metal forming using the ring test and actual surface measurements. It enables more accurate and also more flexible modelling of friction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss innovative "Plug-and-Play" scalable gateways using RFID devices and establish a Gateway Product Service System (GPSS) framework for cost-effective deployment of RFID-enabled manufacturing solutions.
Abstract: This paper discusses innovative “Plug-and-Play” scalable gateways using RFID devices and establishing a Gateway Product Service System (GPSS) framework for cost-effective deployment of RFID-enabled manufacturing solutions. A unique contribution is that the GPSS overcomes “three high problems”, namely high cost, high risk and high level of technical skills through a shift from individual investments in RFID devices and skills to common sharing of real-time visibility and traceability services among manufacturing alliance members. This approach substantially reduces start-up investment costs, reduces level of required specialist skills, speeds up installation processes and streamlines maintenance services, and improves sustainable success of RFID adopted projects.
