Cloud Computing-Based Marketplace for Collaborative Design and Manufacturing

  • Conference paper
Internet of Things. IoT Infrastructures (IoT360 2015)

Abstract

This paper introduces an open-source, interoperable platform for real-time collaboration in complex product lifecycle development across multiple companies. Each segment of the lifecycle, including product conception, design, analysis, prototyping, component sourcing, manufacturing and assembly, logistics and delivery, and services from installation to maintenance, repair and overhaul, can benefit from this collaboration through easy access, development, deployment, and integration of heterogeneous models and data. The platform is built on an elastic cloud-computing environment, which provides efficient scaling of computational performance needs to support the collaboration platform. We believe that this platform will enable organizations of all sizes to enter a new digital age of integrated product design, manufacturing and service systems.
