Cloud manufacturing

Cloud Manufacturing describes a modern production concept. The production factors, capacities and techniques are linked with cloud manufacturing and transformed into a holistic supply of manufacturing services. The advantage: The entire manufacturing process can be managed and operated intelligently and uniformly. The aim is a complete and therefore economic utilization of all the machines involved in the manufacturing process, as well as a joint use of all the persons and companies involved.
Cloud manufacturing is intended for the entire production: from design phase to production to maintenance. Machines, competencies and software packages are offered as “Manufacturing as a Service” – so-called MaaS. Based on CAD data and knowledge-based machine and material databases, the optimal services are determined, capacity planning is carried out and orders are planned and controlled.
