Matching of Manufacturing Resources in Cloud Manufacturing Environment

Abstract

With the introduction and application of new information technology in manufacturing, various advanced manufacturing models and national strategies have received more and more attention. The goal of cloud manufacturing is to closely link the resources and capabilities of manufacturers through a variety of services to create a dedicated platform for complex manufacturing process needs. How to achieve effective matching of various manufacturing resources and capabilities in the form of services will be a common problem in the future. In order to effectively improve cloud manufacturing tasks and resource matching efficiency and save resources, this study considers the common aspects of cloud manufacturing resource matching as service quality indicators, and extends the scope to the requirements of manufacturing resources, and the matching pattern of traditional service resources. There are additional restrictions on the resource service matching process. At the same time, the resource service matching is usually asymmetric. Therefore, we introduce the concept of task complexity of demand resources, and propose a combination system based on task complexity and service quality evaluation. The artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) is used for analysis and verification. The experimental paper further validates the proposed the feasibility and efficiency of the method.
