Abstract

As the future development trend of advanced manufacturing technologies, manufacturing grid (MG) is attracting more and more interests, and massive results have been achieved. However, as current existing service MG platforms are based on different standards and specifications, access to manufacturing resources of these platforms remains incompatible. To enhance the adaptability of MG with different standards, a uniform manufacturing resource service adapter for MG called uniform service adapter (UA) is suggested. Firstly, existing service access mechanisms of current MG are analyzed briefly. Then the frameworks of UA, which are composed of three parts, namely the service adapter, the data management adapter, and the binding adapter, is presented. Next, each part of UA is realized in detail. Lastly, a simple test scene of UA is provided. The UA introduced in the paper can accommodate the dynamics, complexity, and heterogeneity of the situation, providing a uniform interface for the upper applications to overcome the incompatibility of the services with different standards.
