Abstract

Cloud manufacturing is a service-oriented, knowledge-based smart manufacturing system. It is integrated with cloud computing technology, Internet of Things, and high-performance computing. Through cloud manufacturing, manufacturing resources are virtualized and offered as consumable in the same way as for electricity, gas, and water. The manufacturing resources are provided to users as services over the Internet (cloud) in a pay-as-you-go manner. A brief introduction to cloud manufacturing is herein presented.

Keywords

cloud manufacturing; cloud-based manufacturing; manufacturing-as-a-service; manufacturing cloud service; manufacturing cloud; cloud manufacturing service platform; cyber manufacturing; smart manufacturing.
