The industrial production landscape is significantly affected by digitization. In the course of this development, various paradigms have been proposed, such as ubiquitous manufacturing, distributed manufacturing or, most recently, cloud manufacturing. A selective discussion and interpretation these similar concepts remains in literature a research gap. Following call for research, aim paper to ...

This work aims to highlight the benefits of Cloud Automation for industrial adopters and some of the research challenges that must be addressed in this process. The focus is on the use of cloud computing for efficiently planning the motion of new robot manipulators designed for flexible manufacturing floors. In particular, different ways that a robot can interact with a computing cloud are cons...

Internet of Things (IoT) are being adopted for industrial and manufacturing applications such as manufacturing automation, remote machine diagnostics, prognostic health management of industrial machines and supply chain management. CloudBased Manufacturing is a recent on-demand model of manufacturing that is leveraging IoT technologies. While Cloud-Based Manufacturing enables on-demand access t...

The global manufacturing development faces the new challenges including waste of resources, short delivery time, labor cost increase, short of labor, etc.. As a result, the overall industry environment of plastic materials manufacturing turns to focus on automatic production that enables manufacturing industry entering into the next phase so that production efficiency, man-made errors, and labo...
