Cloud manufacturing (CMfg) is a new service-oriented networked manufacturing paradigm. In a CMfg system, the operator of CMfg platform provides services for resource providers to publish their idle manufacturing resources and for resource demanders to access the resource pool on-demand. To uncover the underlying mechanism supporting the development and implementation of CMfg, a model of CMfg system is proposed by abstracting the CMfg operator as a third party and modeling the relationships of CMfg users using the scale-free network. We investigate the effect of saturation degree of manufacturing task and find that there exists an intermediate value of the parameter optimally favoring the participation of enterprises in CMfg. We also study the charging issue. The obtained result shows that the CMfg system is robust with respect to resource charge. Finally, we discuss the future work and conclude the paper.

The emerging business technology trends such as cloud, Internet of Things, and the new requirements and challenges of future development of manufacturing industry such as green manufacturing and knowledge innovations, have together given rise to a novel cloud-based service-oriented manufacturing business model — cloud manufacturing. Since its inception, cloud manufacturing has attracted much attention of researchers from both academia and industry. As a nascent concept aiming to achieve comprehensive and full resource sharing and e-business collaboration, the success of cloud manufacturing depends heavily on the support and participation of industrial enterprises. However, so far there have been few reports on the status of cloud manufacturing among industrial enterprises. In order to understand the situation of cloud manufacturing in industry, we conducted a survey with respect to its acceptability and application prospect among enterprises located in Jiangsu province, China. This paper presents the results of the survey and some analysis.

The cloud manufacturing brings forward a new idea of manufacturing resource sharing with service-oriented. Recent advances in information technology, such as cloud computing, internet of things, make it easier for heterogeneous resources in different regions to remote collaboration in cloud manufacturing. To help improve the success of distributed manufacturing resource sharing for service provider and user in building material and equipment enterprise (BMEE), the order-oriented cloud service library (OCSL) and order-based model for shared manufacturing resources (OMSMR) are proposed after analysing the management features of manufacturing resources in BMEE. The OCSL gives a relationship description between task orders and related services. Moreover, a case study is undertaken to evaluate the proposed model. The model brings into manufacturing industry for manufacturing resource sharing with a number of benefits such as openness, integrity and traceability.

Abstract Cloud manufacturing is a state-of-art networked manufacturing model with the idea and technologies of cloud computing to transform traditional production-oriented manufacturing into service-oriented manufacturing. This emerging model can make manufacturing resources, in a manner similar to traditional utilities such as water, gas and electricity, available (offered) over the internet as convenient, scalable, on-demand services to enterprises. The aim is to improve the sharing efficiency of manufacturing resources and reduce manufacturing costs in industries. In this paper, the current research of cloud manufacturing is summarized, including relevant theories, technologies and applications. A cloud solution for workshop management is proposed from a service perspective, along with its architecture and business process. The methodologies, including manufacturing resource virtualization and workshop sensor network configuration are developed to support heterogeneous data integration and effective collaboration among services in cloud. A case study is demonstrated and discussed to validate the proposed cloud service system.

The ideas of on-demand, scalable and pay-for-usage resource-sharing in Cloud Manufacturing are steadily attracting more interest. For implementing the concept of Manufacturing-as-a-Service in a cloud environment, description models and implementation language for resources and their capabilities are required. A standardized approach for systemized virtualization, servisilisation, retrieval, selection and composition into higher levels of functionality is necessary. For the collaborative sharing and use of networked manufacturing resources there is also a need for a control approach for distributed manufacturing equipment. In this paper, the technological perspective for an adaptive cloud service-based control approach is described, and a supporting information model for its implementation. The control is realized through the use of a network of intelligent and distributable Function Block decision modules, enabling run-time manufacturing activities to be performed according to actual manufacturing conditions. The control system’s integration to the cloud service management functionality is described, as well as a feature-level capability model and the use of ontologies and the Semantic Web.

Manufacturing enterprise group possesses the greatest wealth of resources and knowledge for sustainable product and business development. These resources and knowledge have gradually become the key factor of core competitiveness and product innovation for manufacturing enterprise group. However, the resources inenterprise group are usually distributed in different subsidiary companies,which means they can’t be centralized used and can’t be made the most use of,constraining the competition and development of enterprise. It bring soutstanding contradiction problems between the demand and resources sharing. By the comparison of different resource sharing and coordination schemas of current advanced manufacturing paradigms, and the analyzing of the resource requirements and tendency of the sharing and centralized control of resources in manufacturing enterprise group from the develop point of view, a new cloud manufacturing service schema vision for manufacturing enterprise group is proposed based onthe Cloud Manufacturing idea to strengthen manufacturing enterprise group’s management and control power, enhance service capabilities of its resources. As same as the cloud manufacturing idea, the schema promises elasticity, flexibility and adaptability through the on-demand provisioning of manufacturing resources as a utility.

Cloud manufacturing is a service-oriented, knowledge-based smart manufacturing system. It is integrated with cloud computing technology, Internet of Things, and high-performance computing. Through cloud manufacturing, manufacturing resources (such as manufacturing software tools, manufacturing equipment, and manufacturing capabilities) are “virtualized” and offered as consumable in the same way as electricity, gas, and water. The manufacturing resources are provided to users as services over the Internet (cloud) in a pay-as-you-go manner. This paper presents a brief introduction to cloud manufacturing.
