“…They describe collaboration by network-based resources and capability sharing in the form of services between different cloud users (consumers, providers, and operators). In light of IoT through machine connectivity, ''cloud manufacturing is an integrated cyber-physical system that can provide on-demand manufacturing services both digitally and physically to best utilize manufacturing resources'' [240,237].…”

Advanced manufacturing depends on the timely acquisition, distribution, and utilization of information from machines and processes across spatial boundaries. These activities can improve accuracy and reliability in predicting resource needs and allocation, maintenance scheduling, and remaining service life of equipment. As an emerging infrastructure, cloud computing provides new opportunities to achieve the goals of advanced manufacturing. This paper reviews the historical development of prognosis theories and techniques and projects their future growth enabled by the emerging cloud infrastructure. Techniques for cloud computing are highlighted, as well as the influence of these techniques on the paradigm of cloud-enabled prognosis for manufacturing. Finally, this paper discusses the envisioned architecture and associated challenges of cloud-enabled prognosis for manufacturing

“…This ecologically damaging pattern of escalating consumption to recover the investment costs of production is starting to be addressed by initiatives such as the circular economy. Moveable factories can contribute to such initiatives by reducing financial drivers and by enabling, for example, in-situ remanufacturing that extends the life of existing goods [53].…”

Abstract:Moveable factories can enable leapfrogging of fixed industrial factories, and so make immediate contributions to global goals of more resilient sustainable manufacturing. Moveable factories bring into use diverse technological advances that reduce the number, size, and weight of machines needed to carry out manufacturing operations at points of supply and/or demand. However, fixed industrial factories continue to be the principal focus for development and application of new manufacturing technologies. At the same time, fixed industrial factories continue to be seen by policy makers around the world as the default option for developing prosperity: rather than as an old fashioned production paradigm to be leapfrogged over. In this paper, findings are reported from a case study investigating potential for moveable factories to bring leapfrog manufacturing to an industrial economy. This case study comprised literature review, interviews, and theoretical analyses. Study findings indicate that organisations in an industrial economy will consider moveable factories if fixed factories are not feasible, practical, or viable. By contrast, potential for improved efficiency and flexibility may not be sufficient to motivate a shift away from fixed industrial factories.

“…The users in CLSC-KSN are not anonymous, because they are inherent in the collaboration among members in the supply chain so that the knowledge shared through this forum is more reliable, within the preset quality standard, and protected from vandalism. Wang & Wang [29] and Wang et al [30], considering the modern manufacturing industry and a new generation of integration models, had reviewed the cloudbased information system for WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) recovery and remanufacturing, and proposed a novel serviceoriented remanufacturing platform based on cloudmanufacturing concept. They had shown that this approach enables remanufacturing firms to respond quickly and effectively.…”

Abstract. In the recent decades, closed-loop supply chain has been studied extensively due to the increased concern on sustainable development. It integrates forward and reverse flows where the collaborative supply chain takes place. Knowledge management is one important part of an organization that can improve the effectiveness of the processes within the organization. Knowledge sharing is significant in a collaborative supply chain since it affects the organizational performance and competitive advantage. The complexity in closed-loop supply chain can be managed better by encouraging knowledge sharing among the supply chain members. This paper presents a conceptual framework to implement knowledge sharing in a closed-loop supply chain management, for improving the CLSC members' performance. The success factors have been identified, and a framework has been presented, it consists of knowledge flows, management aspect and sociotechnical aspect.
