Background:

Smart manufacturing relies on cyber-physical infrastructure for enterprise-wide data analysis.
Existing systems often lack seamless integration across the product lifecycle.
There is a need for robust platforms to support smart manufacturing R&D.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a concept for a product lifecycle test bed.
To enable smart manufacturing research and development through a cyber-physical infrastructure.
To identify technologies and standards for interoperability.

Main Methods:

Developed a test bed integrating a Computer-Aided Technologies (CAx) Lab and a Manufacturing Lab.
Established a 'digital thread' connecting information across the product lifecycle via the product model.
Presented the proposed structure and architecture of the cyber-physical infrastructure.

Main Results:

The test bed facilitates smart manufacturing research by linking design, fabrication, and inspection.
Identified key challenges and requirements for implementing cyber-physical infrastructure in manufacturing.
Highlighted the need for interoperability standards and technologies.

Conclusions:

The proposed test bed provides a foundation for advancing smart manufacturing.
It offers a unique environment for prototyping and validating new manufacturing technologies.
Enables opportunities for public access to manufacturing data and virtual factory resources.
