Agile Manufacturing Data Management

An agile data service framework was proposed in the paper to meet the requirement of agile manufacturing data management in product lifecycle management. The framework was comprised of four layers: core object and ontology layer, meta-data and meta-mode layer, service component layer and implementation layer. The realization of agile manufacturing data management was investigated through the analysis of the unified manufacturing data modeling and the implementation based on services. The descriptive structure and the main content of the manufacturing data model was given. The architecture of the manufacturing data management system based on services was addressed to conduct service implementation of the framework. The proposed approach of agile data services brought forward a new feasible solution to agile data management throughout product lifecycle.
