Abstract
RFID (radio frequency identification) is widely used in the manufacturing processes of enterprises. At the same time, with the advent of the Industry 4.0 era, Manufacturing Execution System (MES) systems began to evolve into cloud MES systems. In this paper, a RFID-based manufacturing process for cloud MES is proposed and a framework manufacturing process fora cloud MES system centered on machine tools is constructed. The process division of the manufacturing process, RFID configuration and cloud processing are analyzed, and other key technologies involved in implementing the framework are briefly discussed. Finally, the effectiveness of a RFID-based manufacturing process of cloud MES is verified by two different types of case analysis namely photovoltaic slice production and garment outsourcing processing.
Highlights
In the midst of globalization and ever-increasing market competition, product quality and production efficiency have always been both a bottleneck and the ultimate goal of manufacturing enterprises
Wang et al combined the characteristics of cloud manufacturing, proposed a machine tool manufacturing Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for cloud manufacturing, and studied the part-case retrieval method, by managing manufacturing resources and allocation in the cloud manufacturing environment [6]; Helo et al made a proposal for the core architecture of a cloud-based MES solution to meet the needs and challenges of the management of distributed manufacturing in a multi-company supply chain [7]; Zhang et al took an industrial park with a high industrial concentration as the management objective, analyzed and discussed the construction of a cloud MES from the aspect of system design, application, operation and maintenance [8]
This study proposes a RFID-based manufacturing process of cloud MES
Summary
In the midst of globalization and ever-increasing market competition, product quality and production efficiency have always been both a bottleneck and the ultimate goal of manufacturing enterprises. The Manufacturing Execution Systems Association (MESA) released the official definition of the MES system in 1997, andit contained an MES integration model which included 11 functions [2]. This traditional MES system is limited to tracking and documenting the transformation of specific information into finished goods, such as individual, machine, raw materials, method and the surrounding environment of a single production workshop (as proposed in the literature [3]: The MES system for agile manufacturing, the human-centered MES system in the networked manufacturing environment proposed by the literature [4]). This paper combines the cloud MES system with RFID technology to further study real-time tracking and monitoring in the manufacturing process
