Abstract—Through the expansion of Industry 4.0, the Oil &
Gas industry in the world is undergoing a major transformation,
so that the formalization of a process chain for the manufacture
of spare-parts becomes increasingly necessary. This work aims
to create work patterns using the concepts of industry 4.0
applied to the Oil & Gas industry, through the study of several
work- pieces of this area. All spare-parts were used to create a
chain of manufacturing processes. From there, they were
recreated through different digital or hybrid manufacturing
techniques. Several points such as geometry, type of acquisition
of geometry, types of raw materials, types of manufacturing
technology and machinery were addressed. Mechanical tests
were carried out at different stages of the process. The results
obtained formed a basis for strategies aiming solving problems
of the studied spare-parts, using hybrid and additive
manufacturing techniques, combined with the concepts of
Industry 4.0. The created protocol was a descriptive and
detailed standardization of the production chain process. The
evaluation of the processes, justifications and solutions was
applicable for each demand, generating a virtual catalog of
spare-parts and that fed a cyclical model of experiences that
continually update the database itself.
Index Terms—Additive manufacturing, digital manufacturing, hybrid manufacturing, industry 4.0, process chain, oil & gas industry.
