“…This is a start, however, in many locations now and in a growing number of developing world communities, Internet access will enable more sophisticated and rapid design browsing and cloud-based design could play a greater role. Cloud manufacturing, is a service oriented, customer centric, demand driven manufacturing model [58]. It could be used by entrepreneurs in developing world communities (e.g.…”

Although the trend in manufacturing has been towards centralization to leverage economies of scale, the recent rapid technical development of open-source 3-D printers enables low-cost distributed bespoke production. This paper explores the potential advantages of a distributed manufacturing model of high-value products by investigating the application of 3-D printing to self-refraction eyeglasses. A series of parametric 3-D printable designs is developed, fabricated and tested to overcome limitations identified with mass-manufactured self-correcting eyeglasses designed for the developing world's poor. By utilizing 3-D printable self-adjustable glasses, communities not only gain access to far more diversity in product design, as the glasses can be customized for the individual, but 3-D printing also offers the potential for significant cost reductions. The results show that distributed manufacturing with open-source 3-D printing can empower developing world communities through the ability to print less expensive and customized self-adjusting eyeglasses. This offers the potential to displace both centrally manufactured conventional and self-adjusting glasses while completely eliminating the costs of the conventional optics correction experience, including those of highly-trained optometrists and ophthalmologists and their associated equipment. Although, this study only analyzed a single product, it is clear that other products would benefit from the same approach in isolated regions of the developing world.

“…Cloud computing is one alternative for handling those large amounts of data. To a certain extent, the cloud effectively serves as the brain to improve decision-making and optimization for IoT-connected objects and interactions [27], although some of those decisions can be made locally (e.g., by the product itself) [19,17]. However, as stated previously, new challenges arise when IoT meets Cloud; e.g.…”

Over the past decade, a flourishing number of concepts and architectural shifts appeared such as the Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, Big Data, 3D printing, etc. Such concepts are reshaping traditional manufacturing models, which become increasingly network-, service-and intelligent manufacturing-oriented. It sometimes becomes difficult to have a clear vision of how all those concepts are interwoven and what benefits they bring to the global picture (either from a service or business perspective). This paper traces the evolution of the manufacturing paradigms, highlighting the recent shift towards Cloud Manufacturing (CMfg), along with a taxonomy of the technological concepts and technologies underlying CMfg.

“…Cloud manufacturing (CMfg) [3], also referred to as cloudbased design and manufacturing (CBDM) [4,5], offers a prospective solution to cope with the aforementioned issues. At the same time, numerous technologies like cloud computing [6,7], web technologies [8], service-oriented technologies [9,10], and Internet of Things (IoT) [11,12] are quickly combined with CMfg to enable intelligent manufacturing resource perception and on-demand manufacturing cloud service scheduling.…”

Globalization, servitization, and customization in the marketplace are changing the way manufacturing enterprises do their business. Cloud manufacturing (CMfg) offers a possibility to perform large-scale manufacturing collaboration. However, CMfg systems are immature in many aspects. Service selection and scheduling is a key issue for practical implementation of CMfg. In this paper, a service selection and scheduling model is established, with criteria TQCS (time, quality, cost, and service) being considered. A fuzzy decision-making theory is adopted to transform TQCS values into relative superiority degrees. This is different from the traditional linear weighted method in most previous research, which results in large values of non-standardization error. The four relative superiority degrees are then combined linearly into an overall objective, in which the weight coefficients are calculated through analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Afterwards, ant colony optimization (ACO) is repurposed for the established service selection and scheduling model. Meanwhile, a selection mechanism is added to ACO (now ACOS) to enhance its validity. The simulation results demonstrate the practicality of the proposed model and the effectiveness of ACOS compared with other widely used algorithms.
