Constraint-Aware Cellular Manufacturing Architecture for Electronics Production in Expeditionary Environments

Résumé fourni par la source

Expeditionary environments such as disaster zones, forward operating bases, and remote research sites impose severe constraints on manufacturing systems, such as, limited energy availability, environmental contamination, unstable infrastructure, uncertain supply chains, and restricted skilled labor. These constraints are particularly challenging for electronics manufacturing due to its sensitivity to dust, humidity, power instability, and limited in-field verification capability. This paper presents a constraint-aware cellular manufacturing architecture for expeditionary electronics production. A structured requirement translation framework maps environmental and operational constraints into explicit engineering implications for system layout, energy management, and assurance integration. A modular, zone-based cellular architecture is proposed that prioritizes mission-adequate restoration, graceful degradation, and selective energy allocation rather than industrial throughput optimization. A constraint-driven configuration model is introduced to evaluate restoration strategies under bounded time, energy, and quality thresholds. The approach is demonstrated through a representative electronics restoration scenario. The results illustrate how cellular organization supports contamination containment, fault isolation, and operational continuity under expeditionary conditions. The proposed framework provides a systems-level foundation for resilient, field-deployable electronics manufacturing systems.
