TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental issues, methodologies, applications and potential of RFID enabled manufacturing are reviewed, a simulated RFID machining process application case study is outlined, and finally a proposed methodology, framework and five-step deployment process aimed at developing a holistic approach to implementing RFID-enabled manufacturing in manufacturing enterprises is detailed.

TL;DR: The role of cutting fluids is well known for the importance of removing heat from the cutting edge, lubricating the sliding chip contact and transporting the metal chips away from a cutting zone.

TL;DR: In this article, an engineering oriented approach is proposed towards e-manufacturing and its applications, and the characteristics and potential of emanufacturing are presented with a number of application examples developed by the authors' research group.

TL;DR: In this paper, an internally cooled cutting tool for dry cutting is presented as a temperature-sensored smart cutting tool in its own right, with further applications for adaptive machining purposes.

TL;DR: A novel devolved manufacturing (DM) ‘factory-less’ approach to e-manufacturing is outlined, which integrates mass customization (MC) concepts, RM technologies and the communication opportunities of the Internet/World Wide Web are described.
