Abstract Cloud manufacturing is emerging as a new manufacturing paradigm and an integrated technology. To adapt to the increasing challenges of the traditional manufacturing industry transforming toward service-oriented and innovative manufacturing, this paper proposes a product platform architecture based on cloud manufacturing. Firstly, a framework for the product platform for cloud manufacturing was built. The proposed architecture is composed of five layers: resource, cloud technology, cloud service, application, and user layers. Then, several key enabling technologies for forming the product platform were studied. Finally, the product platform for cloud manufacturing built by a company was taken as an application example to illustrate the architecture and functions of the system. The validity and superiority of the architecture were verified. Keywords Cloud manufacturing Cloud service Product platform Architecture Product collaborative design
1 Introduction Cloud computing provides three types of services: software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Cloud manufacturing [1] is a new manufacturing model developed from the concept of ‘‘manufacturing as a service (MaaS)’’ derived from networks such as the internet and internet of things (IoT), & Wei Wei [email protected] 1

telecommunication networks, broadcast and television networks, and wireless broadband networks based on the above three service models. Cloud manufacturing integrates and develops existing manufacturing information technologies (such as computer-aided design, production, experiment, simulation, management, and integration) and emerging information technologies (such as cloud computing, IoT, service computing, intelligent science, and high-efficiency computing). Various types of manufacturing resources and capabilities are virtualized and made service-oriented to form a service cloud pool that can be unified and centralized for optimization management. The core of cloud manufacturing is to share manufacturing resources and capabilities. The key to cloud manufacturing is to build a public product platform for cloud manufacturing to realize the unified management of manufacturing resources and capabilities that can be accessed on demand by users through the cloud anywhere and anytime. Therefore, the efficient sharing and utilization of resources is realized, and the lifecycle of manufacturing is intelligently completed [2]. The product platform for cloud manufacturing is a complex system. Therefore, construction of the platform needs key enabling technologies to solve problems and maintain the efficiency and sustainability of the system. Golightly et al. [3] discussed the technology
