A Workflow and Cloud Based Service-Oriented Architecture for Distributed Manufacturing in Industry 4.0 Context

2018-11-22
In Industry 4.0, manufacturing organizations have to become more flexible and agile to stay competitive in the marketplace. Industry and academia focus on sharing globally distributed manufacturing resources and capabilities. This shift to collaborative environment calls for a service dominant logic in which reusable services model entire production processes. Accordingly, service-oriented architectures have been under spotlight by researchers to integrate distributed capabilities and resources of manufacturing. In this article, we identify rapidly developing relevant IT fields, state-of-the-art service-oriented manufacturing approaches, and discuss related challenges with those approaches. Then we introduce a higher-level workflow and cloud based service-oriented architecture for (1) individuals to design and prototype products, (2) manufacturing organizations to focus on their core competencies and find complementary services for part of their production processes, and (3) manufacturing organizations to publish their idle capabilities and resources as services. We investigate these potential impacts and more in the next manufacturing era.

A Cloud Manufacturing Application for Additive Manufacturing Methods
Haseltalab, Vahid; Yaman, Ulaş (2019-01-01)
Over the past years, the manufacturing industry has witnessed a great enhancement in the field of Additive Manufacturing that allows forming an inchoate market to produce custom-made products with low unit costs. At the same time, everyone may be a designer as well. However, the required equipment is only accessible for all the people. The Cloud Manufacturing aims to resolve this challenge by connecting the customers to the manufacturers. Therefore, this paper introduces a practical fabrication method for 3...
An Interoperability Service Utility for Collaborative Supply Chain Planning across Multiple Domains Supported by RFID Devices (iSURF)
Doğaç, Asuman(2010-6-31)
Today's competitive and demanding world of business requires new networked applications and services capable of interoperation across variety of business domains and organizations of all sizes. iSURF will provide an intelligent collaborative supply chain planning network that will: 1.Realize a knowledge-oriented inter-enterprise collaboration environment in which distributed intelligence of multiple trading partners will be exploited in the planning and fulfillment of customer demand in the supply chain. 2...
A lessons-learned tool for organizational learning in construction
Eken, Görkem; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (Elsevier BV, 2020-02-01)
Organizational learning has been identified as a core competency for project-based companies with industry specific challenges. In this study, it is hypothesized that a web-based lessons learned management system may help construction companies to manage lessons learned effectively. A lessons learned management process model (LLMPM) was proposed for capturing and transferring knowledge across projects. Expert review meetings with participants from both academia and private sector were carried out to develop...
Current Research Topics in Industry 4.0 and an Analysis ofProminent Architectural Frameworks
Kayabay, Kerem; Akyol, Mehmet Ali; Gökalp, Mert Onuralp; Koçyiğit, Altan; Eren, Pekin Erhan (2017-10-17)
Industry 4.0 sets new goals for manufacturing and impacts business outcomes. In the near future, ordinary plants will transform into smart factories in order to stay competitive in the marketplace. This transition has already started as manufacturing industry increasingly adopts advancing technologies including Internet of Things, Big Data, Cloud Computing, and Machine Learning. After presenting motivations and the enabler technology stack behind the nextindustrial revolutio...
A robust optimization model for sustainable and resilient closed-loop supply chain network design considering conditional value at risk
Lotfi, Reza; Mehrjerdi, Yahia Zare; Pishvaee, Mir Saman; Sadeghieh, Ahmad; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2021-06-01)
One of the challenges facing supply chain designers is designing a sustainable and resilient supply chain network. The present study considers a closed-loop supply chain by taking into account sustainability, resilience, robustness, and risk aversion for the first time. The study suggests a two-stage mixed-integer linear programming model for the problem. Further, the robust counterpart model is used to handle uncertainties. Furthermore, conditional value at risk criterion in the model is considered in orde...
