Abstract:
In the last decade, cloud manufacturing (CMfg) has attracted considerable attention from academia and industry worldwide. The purpose of this paper is to review the relevant research on CMfg-A via identification of the main layers, elements, relationships, structure and functions of CMfg-A to provide valuable information to scholars and practitioners for further research on key CMfg-A technologies and the construction of CMfg systems with superior performance. This study systematically reviews the relevant research on CMfg-A across transformation process to internal characteristics by integrating quantitative and qualitative methods. A 3D printing architecture design case is conducted to discuss the weakness of the previous architecture and demonstrate how to improve it. By analyzing the transformation process of CMfg-A, this study finds that CMfg-A resources are developing from tangible resources into intangible resources and intelligent resources. Case study shows that the analysis of the development trend and internal characteristics of the architecture facilitates the design of a more effective architecture.
