<p>Cloud manufacturing is a state-of-art networked manufacturing model with the idea and technologies of cloud computing to transform traditional production-oriented manufacturing into service-oriented manufacturing. This emerging model can make manufacturing resources, in a manner similar to traditional utilities such as water, gas and electricity, available (offered) over the internet as convenient, scalable, on-demand services to enterprises. The aim is to enhance the sharing of manufacturing resources for the global and lower manufacturing costs. In this paper, the current research of cloud manufacturing is summarized, including relevant theories, technologies and applications. In order to&nbsp;&nbsp;build&nbsp;&nbsp;an intelligent and collaborative&nbsp;workshop operation&nbsp;environment to enhancing&nbsp;production management efficiency, a&nbsp;cloud system for workshop management is proposed from a service perspective，whose hierarchical architecture&nbsp;is composed of&nbsp;physical resource layer，virtualization layer，global service layer and application layer. The business process of proposed system is designed. The methodologies, including the workshop sensor network configuration and manufacturing resources virtualization are developed to support heterogeneous data integration and effective collaboration among services in cloud. A case study is demonstrated and discussed to validate the proposed cloud service system.&nbsp;The proposed system and methods will promote the application and development of cloud manufacturing mode in the discrete manufacturing workshop.</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.
