Summary:In the context of Industry 4.0, it is necessary to meet customization manufacturing demands on a timely basis. Based on the related concepts of Industry 4.0, this paper intends to introduce mobile services and cloud computing technology into the intelligent manufacturing environment. A customization manufacturing system is designed to meet the demands of personalization requests and flexible production mechanisms. This system consists of three layers, namely, a manufacturing device layer, cloud service system layer, and mobile service layer. The manufacturing device layer forms the production platform. This platform is composed of a number of physical devices, such as a flexible conveyor belt, industrial robots, and corresponding sensors. The physical devices are connected to the cloud via the support of a wireless module. In the cloud, the manufacturing big data are processed, and the optimization decision-making mechanism pertaining to customization manufacturing is formed. Then, mobile services running in a mobile terminal are used to receive orders from customers and to inquire the necessary production information. To verify the feasibility of the proposed customization manufacturing system, we also established a customizable candy production system.
