我们提出了一个生产即服务（PaaS）框架，将具有小批量生产需求的用户（产品开发人员）与现有的未充分利用资源的制造设施连接起来。PaaS是一个基于Web的框架，基于面向服务的架构（SOA）设计，将产品的制造分解为几个步骤或服务，以整合具有满足生产要求的可用能力的各种制造商。知识产权（IP）的保护是基于SOA的制造系统的主要关注点。提出的工作旨在解决这个问题，通过使用抽象的功能来描述产品设计，这使得制造商提供报价的制造步骤，而不需要产品的详细技术数据。本文还提出了优化方法，以找到可行的解决方案的基础上收集的报价的生产要求，通过放松优先约束的制造工艺或组件。提供了一个案例研究，以说明拟议的框架的功能。还提供了PaaS架构及其实现所需的API的详细描述。
We present a Production as a Service (PaaS) framework that connects users (product developers) who have small batch production needs, with existing manufacturing facilities that have underutilized resources. PaaS is a web-based framework based on the service oriented architecture (SOA) design that breaks down the manufacturing of a product into several steps, or services, to incorporate various manufacturers with available capability in fulfilling the production request. Preservation of intellectual property (IP) is a major concern with SOA based manufacturing systems. Presented work aims to address this issue by using abstracted features to describe a product design, which enables manufacturers to provide quotations for the manufacturing steps without the need for the detailed technical data of the product. The paper also presents the optimization approaches employed to find feasible solutions based on the collected quotations for a production request by relaxing the precedence constraints on the manufacturing processes or the components. A case study is provided to illustrate the functionalities of the proposed framework. A detailed description of the PaaS architecture and the required APIs for its implementation are also provided.
