Cloud Manufacturing Service System for Industrial-Cluster-Oriented Application

Abstract

Common technology and business demands, such as information sharing, designing and manufacturing outsourcing, order collaborating etc., among enterprises and factories in the industrial cluster area ask for public technology supports and services Recently, Cloud Manufacturing Service System (CMSS) as a novelty way to provide public and generalized manufacturing services, is put forward. In order to fulfill the real-time designing and manufacturing information interaction among the collaborative partners in an industrial cluster area, we designed an industrial-cluster-oriented CMSS and provide services for these small and medium manufacturing enterprises by means of mobile cloud system and relative technologies. The framework of CMSS is defined, and a series of corresponding enabling technologies, including virtualization of manufacturing resources, using ways of virtualized manufacturing resources, lifecycle management of manufacturing service, and compounded access control model of CMSS, are developed. At end, a lightweight application of CMSS, which can provide optimization, simulation and analysis services, is built. Our work can help to satisfy the common designing demands of industrial-cluster area partly. Also, we have performed an effective attempt of engineering applications of mobile cloud system.
