Combining with the emerged technologies such as cloud computing, the Internet of things, service-oriented technologies and high performance computing, a new manufacturing paradigm - cloud manufacturing (CMfg) for solving the bottlenecks in the informatisation development and manufacturing applications is introduced. The concept of CMfg, including its architecture, typical characteristics and the key technologies for implementing a CMfg service platform, is discussed. Three core components for constructing a CMfg system, i.e. CMfg resources, manufacturing cloud service and manufacturing cloud are studied, and the constructing method for manufacturing cloud is investigated. Finally, a prototype of CMfg and the existing related works conducted by the authors' group on CMfg are briefly presented.

In recent years, cloud manufacturing has become a new research trend in manufacturing systems leading to the next generation of manufacturing paradigm. However, it also brings a new challenge which is caused by multiple cloud services and applications developed by different vendors in different platforms and programming languages. Based on the literature review, most of the cloud manufacturing research have focused on either the system or methodology level, and there are limited research works concentrating on the heterogeneous manufacturing environment and the related interoperability issues. Therefore, this research aims to tackle especially the interoperability issue in the cloud manufacturing environment. The interoperability research in computing is firstly reviewed, and the cloud manufacturing research is classified from an interoperability's perspective. During cloud practice, the industrial users, especially Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), have demands on interoperability security, and safety. Therefore, in this research, the proposed cloud manufacturing system is particularly tailored as a private cloud to achieve data and service interoperability, where the demands from SMEs are also fulfilled. The proposed system is implemented in a private manufacturing cloud structure with mobile access. The system is validated and evaluated by a case study. The quantifiable results confirm the feasibility and advantage of the proposed system, compared with the performance of conventional IT solutions.

Manufacturing capability sharing and circulation are the most important aims in cloud manufacturing (CMfg). In order to realize the above target, the issue of how to realize the formal description of manufacturing capability need to be solved. In this paper, a modeling and description method of multidimensional information for manufacturing capability in CMfg system is studied. Firstly, the concept and current research related to manufacturing capability are summarized. Then a multidimensional information model of manufacturing capability is established. Based on the model, a description method of manufacturing capability is proposed, and the related key technologies, e.g., fuzzy information description and dynamic behavior description, are systematically analyzed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by a case study.

This paper proposes three frameworks to cope with the integrated process planning and scheduling in cloud manufacturing context. Manufacturing units are connected by information and logistic tunnels. With regard to the level of information exposure and autonomy, a negotiation-based cloud, a centralised cloud and a hybrid cloud are proposed. The negotiation-based cloud performs a staged negotiation procedure to achieve an agreement on process plans and schedules in a sub-cloud. Each unit can keep the highest level of privacy and autonomy. The centralised cloud is facilitated with a Planning Centre which holds real-time data of all manufacturing resources, such as machine configurations and status. The Planning Centre is solely responsible for the process planning and scheduling functions. The hybrid cloud combines the negotiation-based and centralised clouds, establishing a dynamic sub-cloud for dedicated job set. At first, the hybrid cloud initiates a negotiation protocol to pool a number of manufacturing units who provide acceptable proposals for given set of operations in the sub-cloud. And then, the Planning Centre performs integrated process planning and scheduling and contract with pooled manufacturing units to fulfil given jobs. In the end, a constraint programming model for the cloud-based integrated process planning and scheduling is provided.

Cloud manufacturing (CMfg) adopts and extends the concept of cloud computing to make mass Manufacturing Resources and Capabilities (MR/Cs) more widely integrated and accessible to users through the Internet. However, a single manufacturing cloud (MC) has limited MR/Cs, due to both economic and technical constraints, and can only provide limited manufacturing services in terms of function, price, and reliability, etc. Using the aggregated MR/Cs or services of multiple MCs is a natural evolution, i.e., MCs can satisfy peak demands for MR/Cs through collaboration, while users can have a wider selection of services from multiple MCs. To address such requirements, we propose a hybrid framework for integrating multiple MCs. The key functional modules and the business models of the proposed framework are presented to guide future integration of MCs. The enabling technologies, such as semantic web and ontologies, intelligent agents, service-oriented architecture, and materials handling and logistics technologies are also discussed. A case study is given, showing the feasibility and rationality of the proposed approach.

Modern manufacturing industry calls for a new generation of production system with better interoperability and new business models. As a novel information technology, Cloud provides new service models and business opportunities for manufacturing industry. In this research, recent Cloud manufacturing and Cloud robotics approaches are reviewed. Function block-based integration mechanisms are developed to integrate various types of manufacturing facilities. A Cloud-based manufacturing system is developed to support ubiquitous manufacturing, which provides a service pool maintaining physical facilities in terms of manufacturing services. The proposed framework and mechanisms are evaluated by both machining and robotics applications. In practice, it is possible to establish an integrated manufacturing environment across multiple levels with the support of manufacturing Cloud and function blocks. It provides a flexible architecture as well as ubiquitous and integrated methodologies for the Cloud manufacturing system.

Indian industries are revolutionising. The traditional Manufacturing is superseding and hence there is a need for digitalisation of industries as our current government scheme is Digital India. The new dynamic and global business models are forcing this traditional production process to change, in the sense of integrating them in a global chain of resources and stakeholders. Cloud Manufacturing is a paradigm shift towards this digitalisation and making smart factories where digitalised manufacturing is implemented. This paper presents a broad perspective of the research on cloud manufacturing. The topics studied mainly include adaptation of Cloud Manufacturing in India, resource and capability virtualization, design and collaboration of cloud manufacturing services.
