Manufacturing Service Integration Architecture for Networked Manufacturing

Abstract

Intense competition drives the need for dynamic integration of dispersed and heterogeneous manufacturing services. This paper proposes a kind of semantic-based service integration architecture for networked manufacturing. A unique property of this architecture is that it provides the unified interface encapsulation approach and semantic analyzing method to realize dynamic and loose coupling integration. Some key technologies are introduced to demonstrate how the proposed integration architecture can be used to establish a collaborative environment, wherein manufacturing services are semantic modeled, semantic analyzed, and dynamically integrated on-demand.
