A project to study resources sharing oriented manufacture grids and the associated methodology, undertaken by Northwest Polytechnical University, has recently passed an experts?¯ verification check. The research team has completed both theoretical and application studies, rolled out a prototype system that passed the preliminary application tests, and established integration with the high tech industrial manufacture grid platforms in the region.
Mainly studying the theory and methodology of resources sharing based manufacture grids, researchers have found solutions to the key application technologies, which makes an integrated support available for grid and coordinated manufacturing activities. The effort spurs up an accelerated development and application of manufacture grids, taking advantage of the global resources, in quickly upgrading the enterprises?¯ manufacturing capacity.
The team established a resource model for the manufacture grid environment, with manufacturing resources as the core, making it represent the resource knots in the grids. Researchers also developed a core system for the manufacture grid service platform that is advanced, general, open-ended, and scalable for the secondary development. In addition, an application environment is created to address manufacturing issues, in line with application requirements, and services are provided to meet the needs of manufacturing processes. The resources sharing oriented manufacture grid system, rolled out by the project, is made up of a line of powerful resources sharing sub-systems for grid resources registration, grid resources search, mission management, standard component database, and online applications.
