Abstract.Manufacturing is the foundation of a nation, the apparatus of a national rejuvenation, and the cornerstone of making a country powerful. ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is one of the key factors which make "Made in China" to "Intelligent Manufacturing in China". Due to the cost of ERP systems, they are not widely used in small and medium-sized enterprises. A cloud-based ERP platform is proposed to meet the low-cost needs for these enterprises. This platform uses SOA (service-oriented architecture) to send message between different modules. It takes advantage of elasticity, high reliability, and high scalability of cloud compute technology. This platform is implemented by spring, Spring MVC and Hibernate. It takes advantage of faster development and the ability to provide multiple views by MVC (Model View Controller) model.
IntroductionWhile Chinese government intensify efforts to implement the Made in China 2025 initiative, a new round of scientific and technological revolutions makes a history intersection with industrial upgrading and transformation [1]. Intelligent manufacturing is identified as a key of raising the country's manufacturing power. Intelligent manufacturing is to apply new information technology and intelligent technology in all aspects of industrial production such as design, manufacturing, management, and service. By sensing, analysis, reasoning, judgment, it can increase manufacturing efficiency, improve product quality, and reduce product cost and resource consumption [2][3]. As the mainstream information product of intelligent manufacturing, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) has become the essential core information software in the manufacturing industry after several stages of development [4]. Although ERP is very useful for manufacturing, it is very expensive for small and medium-sized enterprises. A cloud-based ERP platform is proposed to meet the low-cost needs for these enterprises.In this paper, the cloud-based ERP platform is presented. It is constructed an opened, extended and oriented service platform. It is developed by SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) and MVC (Model View Controller) model. By SOA, this platform empowers collaborative cloud-based resource management. The development of this platform integrates spring, Spring MVC and Hibernate all together as a MVC framework. By this way, it not only improved the development efficiency, and also reduces maintain cost. To improving the reliability, augment ability in runtime, this platform is deployed on AliCloud.
