“…The role of VF is expanding with in-situ simulation (Terkaj et als , 2015) and becoming a real-time digital counterpart of real factory assets, processes and systems. As Møller, Chaudhry and Jørgensen have shown, using advanced DES to develop Virtual Enterprise Architecture, as a system emulator, brings immense benefits in the development, testing or adoption of software algorithms (Møller et al , 2008). Moreover, emulation capabilities promise a substantial role for VF as a testbed for developing and testing AI and machine learning algorithms through learning factories.…”

Purpose The complexity of manufacturing systems, on-going production and existing constraints on the shop floor remain among the main challenges for the analysis, design and development of the models in product, process and factory domains. The potential of different virtual factory (VF) tools and approaches to support simultaneous engineering for the design, and development of these domains has been addressed in the literature. To fulfil this potential, there is a need for an approach which integrates the product, process and production systems for designing and developing VF and its validation in real-life cases. This paper aims to present an integrated design approach for VF design and development, as well as a demonstration implemented in a wind turbine manufacturing plant. Design/methodology/approach As the research calls for instrumental knowledge to discover the effects of intervention on the operations of an enterprise, design science research methodology is considered to be a well-suited methodology for exploring practical usefulness of a generic design to close the theory–practice gap. The study was planned as an exploratory research activity which encompassed the simultaneous design and development of artefacts and retrospective analysis of the design and implementation processes. The extended VF concept, architecture, a demonstration and procedures followed during the research work are presented and evaluated. Findings The artefacts (models and methods) and the VF demonstrator, which was evaluated by industry experts and scholars based on the role of the VF in improving the performance in the evaluation and reconfiguration of new or existing factories, reduce the ramp-up and design times, supporting management decisions. Preliminary results are presented and discussed. Research limitations/implications The concept VF model, its architecture and general methodology as an integrated design and development approach, can be adopted and used for VF design and development both for discrete and continuous manufacturing plants. The development and demonstration were limited, however, because real-time synchronisation, 3D laser scanning data and a commonly shared data model, to enable the integration of different VF tools, were not achievable. Originality/value The paper presents a novel VF concept and architecture, which integrates product, process and production systems. Moreover, design and development methods of the concept and its demonstration for a wind turbine manufacturing plant are presented. The paper, therefore, contributes to the information systems and manufacturing engineering field by identifying a novel concept and approach to the effective design and development of a VF and its function in the analysis, design and development of manufacturing systems.

Abstract:In order to realize the social logistics resource integration and provide customized logistics services to the customers, this paper presents a regional logistics public information platform construction scheme based on analyzing the conception and characteristics of cloud computing. A system configuration model of regional logistics public information platform is advanced on the basis of analysis. Technical scheme and system configuration model can be widely used in the construction of regional logistics information system. Finally, a proposal to adopting the mode of Cooperative operation leading by the enterprise is provided combining the development situation of cloud computing and logistics information public platform in china. This paper examines recent patents that awarded from The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and State Intellectual Property Office of the P.R.C. The main methodologies used in logistics information public platform have been reviewed in this paper. The following techniques have been covered: (i) Cloud computing system, (ii) logistics information platform, and (iii) operation mode based on Cloud Computing. The qualitative analysis of the work done by various authors has been presented based on (a) public cloud, (b) private cloud, (c) hybrid cloud.
