Cloud Data Sharing for the Integration of Heterogeneous Systems for Personalized Productio

Resumo

The increasing demand for customized products poses significant challenges for companies aiming to optimize logistics and manufacturing operations. Multiple companies within a supply network—each using distinct information systems—must be coordinated from order negotiation to the end of the product life cycle. This challenge involves the integration of heterogeneous systems and the harmonization of data across all sectors of the manufacturing chain. This study proposes cloud-based data sharing to establish seamless communication among distributed information systems. The proposed approach was implemented in two pilot plants supported by advanced Industry 4.0 systems. The analysis indicates that this method facilitates effective data sharing in customer-supplier relationships, thereby improving the coordination and scheduling of production activities.
