ABSTRACT
Trust is essential in the digital world. It is a critical task to build digital trust for the ongoing digital engineering transformation. Aiming at developing a blockchain-based digital trust mechanism for Cloud Manufacturing or Manufacturing-as-a-Service (MaaS), in this paper, we use the manufacturing of low dead space (LDS) medical syringes through Cloud Manufacturing as a motivating scenario to develop a basic framework. To meet the need of optimally saving COVID-19 vaccine doses to save more lives, the medical device manufacturing community needs to make a swift move to meet the surged need for LDS syringes. Cloud Manufacturing is a form of emerging Digital Manufacturing facilitated with Cloud/Edge Computing, the Internet of Things, and other digital technologies. Cloud manufacturing allows quickly establishing a digital virtual enterprise that pools together various manufacturing resources worldwide to meet the surged needs of products and save cost and time. Trusting the product quality and safety is a significant challenge when using Cloud Manufacturing to manufacture the products. This paper proposes a schema of blockchain-based digital trust mechanisms with examples of using Cloud Manufacturing of medical LDS syringes for the urgent needs of catering COVID-19 vaccination.

ABSTRACT
Cloud Manufacturing (CMfg) as a service-oriented manufacturing (SOM) paradigm promotes the paradigm of partnership and collaboration among the globally distributed resources. Like technology-based marketplaces, it can identify different suppliers, determine their available services, and assign them to the requested orders based on the service-demand matching mechanism. The dominant capabilities of the SOM as a service can provide a collaborative and flexible manufacturing network configuration. This paper has focused on developing a new CMfg architecture with a concentrating on collaborative concepts to elaborate the modular manufacturing through the virtual process. In this model, different parts of the customized products can be designed as modules produced by distributed suppliers. A (Formula presented.) representation model for the SOM system has been proposed by this architecture. The proposed architecture is enriched by the help of novel technologies presented in Industry 4.0 (I4.0). The model's performance can be evaluated through different approaches, like topology analysis. Furthermore, to simulate a modeling procedure of the architecture, the process of the ventilator production marketplace is discussed in Tehran, Iran. The capabilities of the model analysis to configure the CMfg network and fulfilling the demands have also been described. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of the effective utilisation of internet-based technologies in Additive Manufacturing (AM) through its practical implications in various areas. The key technologies that comprise the Industry 4.0 paradigm and have been previously implemented into the AM process possess immense potential to bring about miraculous manufacturing changes. The ongoing pandemic situation, too, has pushed the industries into the deployment of advanced technologies to deal effectively with the major challenges that followed COVID-19 and to keep up with customers' expectations. Therefore, manufacturing industries need to adopt the latest internet-based technologies into AM, especially for lean and optimised manufacturing and perceived proficiency of advanced printing technologies. This paper identifies goals of sustainable manufacturing that can be accomplished as a result of implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) in 3D printing technology. Also, since the Internet of Things-enabled AM process is an entirely new concept, limited sources are available in this field. Pubmed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases are used to conduct literature reviews. The study conducted is the most up-to-date information on Internet of Things-enabled AM and is rigorously analyzed to identify prospective application areas. Thus, IoT-enabled AM helps in producing sustainable solutions for humanity and in meeting customers' demands in the stipulated period, thereby contributing to mass personalisation, which is the ultimate goal of Industry 4.0. © 2021 Kingfa Scientific and Technological Co.
