<p>To address the issue that many devices are connected to the cloud during the manufacturing process, which causes severe delays in analyzing massive manufacturing data in the cloud, an FPGA-based architecture of cloud edge collaboration is proposed. In this architecture, manufacturing equipment is connected to the cloud through an FPGA-based embedded edge node. The device data obtained by the edge node is processed by the FPGA module and the embedded system module according to the time-sensitivity. Considering the limited computing power of a single edge node, to realize cloud-edge collaborative computing, a communication-oriented task model and a computing model for edge nodes are designed. The task model learns cloud to edge and edge-edge communication, and the task model realizes the function of migrating computing tasks to other nodes. The edge node system’s design is realized based on the communication-oriented task model and the computing model for edge nodes. The cloud edge collaboration method is researched and explored based on this system. A series of comparative experiments, comparing the time delay of the FPGA module and embedded system module processing the same data, the framework’s usability and data processing ability can be verified.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

2021 International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference (MSEC2021)

Supporting the need among researchers worldwide for additional online and multimedia content, ASME now offers the ASME Conference Video Collection. This platform will collect and provide long-term access to conference presentation videos, encompassing all technology areas within ASME's technical conference and events program. About 30,000-40,000 engineers across all mechanical engineering and related disciplines participate in ASME conferences each year. This includes authors of approximately 6,000 to 8,000 technical papers published by ASME, the majority of whom also submit video presentations for our virtual conferences. The video collection will be available as an add-on to existing product packages or as a separate subscription.
