Abstract

Cloud Manufacturing and Cloud Service is currently one of the main directions of development in the manufacturing industry. Under the Cloud Manufacturing environment, the characteristics of publishing, updating, searching, and accessing manufacturing resources are massive, complex, heterogeneous, and so forth. A bilayer manufacturing resource model with separation of Cloud End and Cloud Manufacturing Platform is proposed in this paper. In Cloud End, manufacturing resources are divided into single resource and complex resource, and a basic data model of manufacturing resources oriented to enterprise interior is established to store the physical characteristics. In Cloud Manufacturing Platform, a resource service attribute model oriented to actual users is established to store the service characteristics. This model is described in detail and realized with stateful Web Service Description Language (WSDL) document. An example is provided for illustrating the implementation of the concept.

Highlights

  • The development and transformation of manufacturing has promoted the sustainable development of human society

  • Human resource means the staff involved in all phases of product life cycle; manufacturing equipment resource means all kinds of hardware in the product design and production processing; software resource means computer software used in product design, manufacturing, enterprise management, and so forth; service resource means service activities related to product design, production marketing, and so forth; material resource means raw materials used in every phases of production; computing resource means computing equipment such as CPUs and memories used in production and enterprise management; knowledge resource means the knowledge or technology related to production

  • Fully taking into account the user participation, user evaluation is included in the resource model, eases to updating and improving the manufacturing resources, and fully reflects the Cloud Manufacturing characteristics of user-oriented and service-oriented

Summary

Introduction

The development and transformation of manufacturing has promoted the sustainable development of human society. Li et al believe that Cloud Manufacturing is a new networked manufacturing model that provides users with customized manufacturing services by organizing online manufacturing resource (called resource cloud) with the use of Internet and Cloud Manufacturing Service Platform [2] They put forward that Cloud Manufacturing is a service-oriented, high efficiency and low consumption, networked, and agile manufacturing model and technology. The so-called Cloud Service is namely Resource Cloud Service, with some features: huge amounts of data, ondemand scaling, high availability, self-service interface, and flexible use of resources Through the technologies such as Internet of Things and virtualization, Cloud Service virtually encapsulates manufacturing resources and manufacturing capabilities in different Cloud End based on knowledge, and intelligently accesses to Cloud Manufacturing Platform, provide users with manufacturing resources highly virtualized in Cloud End as services in the manufacturing life cycle [8]
