Research Of EDM Cloud Platform Based On Cloud Manufacturing

The EDM industries which is a an important component of manufacturing industryplay an important role in the mold manufacturing, aerospace and other fields. But in thecurrent development model, a lot of small and medium EDM enterprises are faced withmany difficulties in the production of machining and researching. At the same time,there are many scientific research institutions which have advantages in the EDMtechnology, but lacking of opportunities to cooperate with EDM enterprises, resulting inthe waste of EDM technical capacity.With the development of information technologies and so on and the changing ofuser needs, manufacturing services nearly have become a major trend in thedevelopment of manufacturing industry. A new network manufacturing modelsrepresented by cloud manufacturing which its core idea is to make manufacture as aservice to use by user.According to the enterprises condition of EDM, this paper builds a EDM cloudplatform based on cloud manufacturing combined with the idea of cloud manufacturing.Users have the various advantages EDM resources access to the cloud platform andshare resource to make up shortcomings each other, improving the enterprise condition,enhancing the competitiveness of EDM enterprises effectively. This paper carries outrelevant research on EDM cloud platform, and the main are as follows:The paper builds the structure of EDM cloud platform and analysis the function ofeach layer of EDM cloud platform, and discuss the EDM resources, platformsparticipating users, services, application mode and operating principles and the EDMmanufacturing characteristics in the mode of cloud manufacturing.Aimed at a number of key technologies involved in EDM cloud platform, the papermainly study four aspects from the virtualization of the EDM resources, the storage ofthe EDM resources, the needs matched with EDM cloud services, the designing ofEDM cloud platform database.Finally, the EDM cloud platform is verified in paper. This paper makes a briefanalysis of the principle access to the database though the ASP technology, as well asthe network architecture of the EDM cloud platform. Showing the service publishing,the service management and the machining process planning of EDM technology in theEDM cloud platform in the end.
