Cloud manufacturing system

Cloud manufacturing is defined as a relationship between the consumer and a flexible array of production services, managed by an intervening architecture that can match service providers to product and manufacturing processes Cloud manufacturing definitions typically make explicit or imply three groups of actors: consumers, who request and use cloud manufacturing processes; application provider...

Simulation-Based 'Smart' Operation Management System for Semiconductor Manufacturing

A Modular Simulation System for Semiconductor Manufacturing Scheduling

A modular simulation system (MSS) for the scheduling of semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities (fabs) is discussed. Firstly, the general structure model (GSM) for modeling a semiconductor wafer fab, composed of a configurable definition layer, a physical layer, a process information layer and a scheduling layer, is proposed. Secondly, a data-based dynamic modeling method is given. Thirdly, ...

Flexible Manufacturing System for Mass Customization Manufacturing

Mass customization manufacturing (MCM) has been gaining recognition as an industrial revolution in the 21st century. This paper presents innovative approaches in realizing and exercising MCM in theoretical and practical applications. Strategies of generalized production line platform and modularization are explored to support dynamic reconfigurations of MCM. NIST’s XML-based Shop Data informati...
