CCIoT-CMfg: Cloud Computing and Internet of Things-Based Cloud Manufacturing Service System

TLDR

IoT and cloud computing are widely studied and applied across fields, enabling intelligent M2M perception and on‑demand resource sharing. This study investigates how IoT and cloud computing can be applied to manufacturing to achieve full sharing, free circulation, on‑demand use, and optimal allocation of resources. The authors propose the CCIoT‑CMfg cloud manufacturing service system, describe its architecture, analyze its relationship with IoT and cloud computing, and establish the supporting technology stack. The paper discusses the advantages, challenges, and future work for implementing CCIoT‑CMfg.

Abstract

Recently, Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing (CC) have been widely studied and applied in many fields, as they can provide a new method for intelligent perception and connection from M2M (including man-to-man, man-to-machine, and machine-to-machine), and on-demand use and efficient sharing of resources, respectively. In order to realize the full sharing, free circulation, on-demand use, and optimal allocation of various manufacturing resources and capabilities, the applications of the technologies of IoT and CC in manufacturing are investigated in this paper first. Then, a CC- and IoT-based cloud manufacturing (CMfg) service system (i.e., CCIoT-CMfg) and its architecture are proposed, and the relationship among CMfg, IoT, and CC is analyzed. The technology system for realizing the CCIoT-CMfg is established. Finally, the advantages, challenges, and future works for the application and implementation of CCIoT-CMfg are discussed.
