The Cloud Manufacturing System in Factory Automation

Abstract

Manufacturing system has lots of component such as sensors, motors and robots. For efficient operation of manufacturing system, application technique such as RFID was used. Furthermore, in application area of network, wireless network include WiFi was used too. And recently, cloud computing technology is coming to us. Cloud computing has recently emerged as an integrated infrastructure for resource sharing and computing in distributed environments. Cloud computing provides computers and other devices on demand. Cloud computing continues the trend started with on-demand, strategic outsourcing and targeting real-time delivery of infrastructure and platform services. In this paper, we consider the manufacturing system in cloud computing environment. Our system consists of four layers; manufacturing resources layer, system virtualization layer, service and application layer. In this system architecture, Device control manager use to manage for each system device driver, System virtualization design for system resource virtualization, Manufacturing service management server performs to handling each system service, and Application management server process to provide each service application to system manager, engineer and user.
