Research on the Architecture of Mould Manufacturing Grid

Abstract

In this paper, the general hierarchical management pattern of mould manufacture industry is first introduced. Then, the construction principals of mould manufacturing grid architecture are analyzed. Based on these, a multilevel architecture of mould manufacturing grid suitable for the mould industry is proposed, and the characteristics of the architecture are analyzed. As one of the core components, a manufacturing information service middleware for this architecture is studied. To support the operation of the architecture, a collaborative pattern of grid nodes are designed and a collaborative schedule model of manufacturing grid are put forward.
