Automation equipment replacing pure manual operations,

A variety of automation equipment composing the rigid
automation production line,
Automation of the whole production process in an
enterprise would appear after introducing manufacturing
execution systems,
Automation cover the production system(i.e., Flexible or
reconfigurable manufacturing systems) and business
system of an enterprise for the unpredictable, highfrequency market changes, and
Information integration and resource sharing are
popularizing among different industries and enterprises
for the demand of personalized customization

Before
the 1960s

Introduction and use of early factory automation

technologies and related automated production equipment,
Manufacturing shop foors have been transformed gradually
into rigid automated production lines from the original craft
production manual workshop

From
1960s to
1980s

The development of advanced management and

manufacturing technologies, computer application
technologies [e.g., Group technology (GT), computer-aided
design (CAD), etc.]
Some AMSs have been proposed and are widely used, such
as FMS, CIM, LP, etc.

Early
1990s

Appearance of AM has prompted manufacturing enterprises

to enter into the organizational mode of enterprise
integration
Enhance the agility, globalization and intelligence of
manufacturing operations

21st
century

Strong support for comprehensive servitization in the

manufacturing industry, since service-oriented architecture
(SOA) and Internet of things (IoT)have been put forward with
the overall rise of advanced computing technologies (e.g.,
grid and cloud computing) and the logistics industry

Brief overview of the

development process of AMSs

Continues.

 What is the evolution process of AMSs that

appears to have been driven by the
changes in techniques, demands and
societal environment?
Moreover, what are the characteristics
which can be found from the evolution
process?
For these issues, a Tri-view Evolution
analysis model of AMSs is established from
the following three dimensions:
The degree and scope of resource sharing,
The value creation, and
The degree of user participation

The

includes two parts

Production-related resource

tools, and data

Product-related resource

Soft and hard resources involved in the

process of transportation,

enterprise informatization
A number of manufacturing modes and
systems have appeared for realizing the
aims of resource sharing within an
enterprise
The typical representatives are FMS, CIMS,
and RMS
Advantages

Cut the budget on resource procurement,

Reduce production costs
Shorten production cycle, and
Respond to customers demands with greater

enterprises

customized demands, manufacturing agility

itself is not sufficient to provide agile response

Resource sharing among

industries and across regions :
It is the expansion on the concept of
enterprise alliance and collaboration
In this phase, manufacturing enterprises
promote the integration of MRs&Cs
among different industries and across
different regions in the form of service
The service-oriented manufacturing
(SOM), such as cloud manufacturing
(CMfg) and manufacturing grid (MGrid),
is a computing and service-oriented
manufacturing model developed

The purpose of manufacturing

is to create value
Value creation and adding can
be achieved from the activities
allocation in the value chain
The evolution of value creation
of AMSs covers the following
three changes
Changes in the carriers of value creation
Changes in the measuring criteria of
value
Changes in the composition of value
chain and enterprise collaboration

Changes in the carriers of value

creation
Before the 1980s, manufacturing
enterprises and customers jointly
create
value
through
the
transactions of specific products
the value creation process has
begun to include additional services
The evolution of the carriers of
value creation is changing from
product, to product and service,
and to service and society

Changes in the composition of

value chain and enterprise
collaboration
Before collaboration or the early stage of enterprise
collaboration and alliance, an enterprise complete
all or most of the manufacturing and operational
activities in the entire life cycle of a product by itself
It makes the enterprise very large, rigid and lack
fexibility
Specifically, the enterprise collaboration chain
driven by the core or leading enterprises within an
industry or in a region is expanding to enterprises
collaboration networks (ECNs) among different
industries or across different regions
Enterprise collaboration in ECN is the necessary
means for manufacturing enterprises to add agility
into the value creation network and to enhance
their own economic situation

The evolution of the degree of user

participation in AMSs can be divided into the
following three phases
1. Buy :- The role of the user is just a buyer and
there is almost no interaction between
manufacturers and consumers
2. Buy and choose :- In order to overcome the
shortage of mass production that cannot meet
the customers diversifying demands,
manufacturers devoted to producing greater
variety of products that are closer to consumers
demands, marked by mass customization
3. Buy, choose and design :- Driven by the
specific customized and personalized demands,
and with the application of new technologies
such as 3D printing, in addition to buying and
choosing, the interaction behavior of consumers
as designers in the enterprise production has
become more common

 Role of Cloud Computing Technology and Cloud

Intelligence Developing process of AMSs towards
socialization
With the support of cloud technology, various manufacturing
resources and capabilities distributed in different physical
places can be shared and on-demand used in the form or
service by all the social users
Along with the development of global manufacturing and
cooperation, global supply chain management, the
manufacturing problems or tasks to be solved and faced by
modern manufacturing enterprise are more complex than
these in traditional manufacturing model
The socialization process of AMSs cannot be realized without
the support of enterprise information systems (EISs), such as
such as PDM, CAPP, ERP, SCM, CRM, which are widely used
for data and process management and application in a
product entire lifecycle in modern enterprises
