Architecture Design of Cloud CPS in Manufacturing

Abstract

Cloud manufacturing is a new concept extending and adopting the concept of cloud computing for manufacturing. The aim is to transform manufacturing businesses to a new paradigmParadigmin that manufacturing capabilities and resources are componentised, integrated and optimised globally. This chapter presents an interoperable manufacturing perspective based on cloud manufacturing. A literature search has been undertaken regarding cloud architectureCloudcloud architectureand technologies that can assist cloud manufacturing. Manufacturing resources and capabilities are discussed in terms of cloud services. A service-oriented, interoperable cloud manufacturing system is introduced. Service methodologies are developed to support two types of cloud users, i.e. customer user and enterprise user, along with standardised data modelsDatadata modeldescribing cloud serviceCloudcloud serviceand relevant features. Two case studies are undertaken to evaluate the reported system. Cloud technology brings into manufacturing industry with a number of benefits such as opennessOpenness, cost-efficiency, resource sharingResourceresource sharingand production scalabilityScalability.
