Manufacturing Platform

Cloud manufacturing is a new manufacturing paradigm in which manufacturing resources and capabilities offered by different enterprises are provided as cloud-based services over the Internet. In addition to the cloud manufacturing platform, enterprises as resource providers are also essential part of a cloud manufacturing system as customer orders that are submitted to the cloud platform will ultimately need to be dispatched to enterprises’ production sites for execution. So far, however, issues concerning enterprises in cloud manufacturing has attracted little attention of researchers, and the most frequently mentioned issue in existing research that are concerned with enterprises is how to connect enterprises’ resources to the cloud infrastructure. This, to a large extent, hinders the development and implementation of cloud manufacturing as the lack of research on enterprises fails to uncover the requirements for enterprises in cloud manufacturing (i.e. Cloud Manufacturing Enterprises, CMEs), and thus enterprises have no reference for evaluating the changes that need to be made to adopt this new manufacturing paradigm. This paper focuses on this important issue and conducts a preliminary exploration on CMEs. We first analyze the requirements for CMEs, and then discuss some critical issues with CMEs in detail, including enterprise information systems, enterprise architecture, and enterprise modeling.

Design Tradeoffs

System design is an important phase of system engineering, determining system architecture to satisfy specific requirements. System design focuses on analyzing performance requirements, system modeling and prototyping, defining and optimizing system architecture, and studying system design tradeoffs and risks. Modern enterprise information systems (EIS) are distributed systems usually built on multitiered client server architectures, which can be modeled using well-known frameworks, such as Zachman enterprise architecture or open distributed processing reference model (RM-ODP). Both frameworks identify different system models, named views, corresponding to discrete stakeholder’s perspectives, specific viewpoints, and could serve as a basis for model-based system design. The main focus of this chapter is to explore the potential of model-based design for enterprise information systems (EIS). To this end, the basic requirements for model-based EIS design are identified, while three alternative approaches are discussed based on the above requirements, namely, rational unified process for systems engineering (RUP SE), UML4ODP and EIS design framework.

The Impact

Systems theory is one of the most important and well-used concept to explain the phenomenon in social sciences. Therefore, systems science plays an important role in explaining many of the phenomena in information systems research. Enterprise Systems (ES), Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) and Enterprise Architecture (EA) are three such emerging technologies in which systems’ perspective plays an important role in explaining the growth and development of these technologies. However, there is lack of literature that illustrates the development and the impact of systems science in these three technologies. This research carefully collects and studies 106 existing literature in the field of ES, EA and EIS, and a summary review of all the latest developments in the ways systems theory has been implemented to these three fields as well as different areas of these three technologies. In the conclusion, three future trends are concluded from the review.

Cloud computing (CC) is generating new computing and business models because of its service-based nature, which enables collaboration and data exchange at higher level, more flexibility with better efficiency and parallel decreasing costs. Manufacturing environments can also benefit from cloud technology and follow fast changes in market demands. In these new scenarios, interoperability has vital importance in the operation and in the interaction among industrial realizations of cyber-physical systems. The chapter introduces the different cloud models and the interoperability issues concerning connected enterprise information systems. Various standardization frameworks have been developed for homogeneous integration of IT models in industrial environments: the IIRA and the RAMI 4.0 are the best-known ones. The chapter introduces both architectures; their methodological approach to industrial integration efforts and how integration can be realized through the OPC Unified Architecture. Finally, the authors propose a basic conceptual model for cloud manufacturing.

Enterprise Transformation

In this chapter, the author bases his research project on his authentic mixed multidisciplinary applied mathematical model for transformation projects. His mathematical model, named the applied holistic mathematical model for projects (AHMM4P), is supported by a tree-based heuristics structure. The AHMM4P is similar to the human empirical decision-making process and is applicable to any type of project; it is aimed to support the evolution of organisational, national, or enterprise transformation initiatives. The AHMM4P can be used for the development of the cybersecurity subsystems, enterprise information systems, and their decision-making systems, based on artificial intelligence, data sciences, enterprise architecture, big data, deep learning, and machine learning. The author attempts to prove that an AHMM4P-based action research approach can unify the currently frequently-used siloed MLI4P and DLI4P trends.

To realize sharing and synergy between manufacturing resources and manufacturing capability in cloud manufacturing, the manufacturing service model is divided into function model and non-function model. Elements and description of function model is given, and function model determines manufacturing services’ combination planning. Also the composition of non-function model and each part’s weight is presented, and non-function model is the basis to evaluate the priority of manufacturing services. For the case of resource in cloud manufacturing services, sharing ontology and private ontology are researched. Sharing ontology is common description of the whole manufacturing domain, and private ontology is individual description of a specific manufacturing platform. The transformation between sharing ontology and private ontology provides a way for isomerism resources to invoke each other.

Cloud Manufacturing and Cloud Service is currently one of the main directions of development in the manufacturing industry. Under the Cloud Manufacturing environment, the characteristics of publishing, updating, searching, and accessing manufacturing resources are massive, complex, heterogeneous, and so forth. A bilayer manufacturing resource model with separation of Cloud End and Cloud Manufacturing Platform is proposed in this paper. In Cloud End, manufacturing resources are divided into single resource and complex resource, and a basic data model of manufacturing resources oriented to enterprise interior is established to store the physical characteristics. In Cloud Manufacturing Platform, a resource service attribute model oriented to actual users is established to store the service characteristics. This model is described in detail and realized with stateful Web Service Description Language (WSDL) document. An example is provided for illustrating the implementation of the concept.
