Research of Product Information Sharing System Based on Cloud Manufacturing

Abstract:

Nowadays, most manufacturing enterprises have realized that the ability to share product information in a quick, real-time, and effective manner between geographically located team members is very crucial for them to survive in the keen competitive global market. However, the existing product information sharing systems have many problems in universality, dynamic, and portability. This paper presented a product information sharing system based on the research of the fundamental theory and key technologies of cloud manufacturing. Our work focuses on proposing a six-layer architecture of the system. For comparison, we discussed the advantages of it. Finally, to validate the architecture, we developed a prototype system. The test results show that the proposed architecture provides a commendable mechanism to better share product information.
