Abstract
Machine tools (MTs) are the core manufacturing resources for discrete manufacturing enterprises. In the cloud manufacturing environment, MTs are massive, heterogeneous, widely dispersed and highly autonomous, which makes it difficult for cloud manufacturing mode to be deeply applied to support the networked collaboration operation among manufacturing enterprises. Realizing universal access and cloud application of various MTs is an essential prerequisite to solve the above problem. In this paper, an OSGi-based adaptation access method of MTs is proposed. First, the MTs information description model in the cloud manufacturing environment is built. Then, an OSGi-based adaptation access framework of MTs is constructed, and key enabling technologies, including machine tool information acquisition and processing, Bundle and Subsystem construction, are studied. Finally, an application case is conducted to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.
