Abstract
Cloud manufacturing (CM) and Internet of things (IoT) are interlinked, yet most works only focused on one of them and take the other as a constituent technology unit. This is practically inadequate, especially for a highly service-driven manufacturing execution system which entails systematical CM supports to respond to the real-time dynamics captured from the IoT-enabled execution hierarchy. To deal with the dynamics occurring in production logistics (PL) processes, this paper investigates a dynamic PL synchronization (PLS) of a manufacturer adopting public PL services. Contemporary CM and IoT infrastructures are systematically integrated to enable a smart PLS control mechanism with multi-level dynamic adaptability. The S-CM operation framework, operation logic, and PLS infrastructure are presented with an industrial case, and the effectiveness is also demonstrated and analyzed.
