Manufacturing Grid Structure And Manufacturing Resources Of Collaborative Management Research

Many advanced manufacturing modes such as agile virtual enterprise, networked manufacturing, e-manufacturing were developed along with the progress of computer and internet technology and consequent applications in manufacturing, collaborating and resource sharing among enterprises distributed worldwide is growing frequently too. All these efforts aim at optimization deploying of resource and producing higher quality products faster at lower cost. Even existing technologies contribute to resource sharing in some degree, they can't satisfy the requirements such as agility of sharing configuration, supporting of resource kinds, and performance of sharing. While the development of grid technology offer new solutions to these requirements.The real and specific problem that underlies the Grid concept is coordinated resource sharing and problem solving in dynamic, multi-institutional virtual organizations. Grid technology improving the performance of networked manufacturing system in resource sharing, cooperation, network security, transparent of using, and so on, which make the base of networked manufacturing system. The term of manufacturing grid (MG) is the applying of grid technologies on manufacturing, which really a cooperation platform and resource sharing system among manufacturing enterprises. In such system, enterprises can obtain resources and services encapsulated in MG like using local resources.MG is a cooperation platform and resource sharing system among manufacturing enterprises. Several special problems related to modern manufacturing that must be considered in MG architecture design: How to manage distributed, heterogeneous and autonomy manufacturing resources in a networked-based manufacturing pattern? How to organize manufacturing resources for easily finding and invoking? How to dynamically organize a manufacturing job from manufacturing services? Aimed at solving these problems, a service oriented Manufacturing Grid is presented in the paper, which based on a peer-to-peer structure.The resource management and scheduling is much more complicated in MG...
