Eager to try! Manufacturing extends the olive branch to cloud computing

In the IT industry, the hottest "cloud computing" more and more people's attention, in the field of Internet of things, mass entertainment and communications, the advantages of the cloud has truly transformed into the competitiveness of enterprises, and manufacturing Of course, the business owners have also noticed this trendy vocabulary, because the low cost, high efficiency of the "cloud computing" solution is also sought after by manufacturing bosses.

Cloud computing is a new service model for software and data. Cloud computing has unique technologies in virtualization, data storage, data management and programming modes. The essence of the technology is the virtualization of IT hardware and software resources such as computing, storage, servers and application software. The core idea of ​​cloud computing is to convert a large number of Network computing resources connected with the unified management and scheduling to form a computing resource pool to users on-demand service. Users can always access, use on demand, expand at any time, pay by use.

With this application, organizations can better communicate product data and workflows anytime, anywhere, and in the environment, further accelerating their decision-making during product lifecycles and improving decision-making accuracy. Although this is not really a "cloud computing", it has shown its clues to "cloud computing" applications for the manufacturing industry.

In China, there are many manufacturing enterprises in the face of "cloud computing" eager. But the key point at the moment is that the security of critical data in the manufacturing enterprise's shop floor is a concern for bosses. On the one hand, they want the openness and flexibility of "cloud computing" and on the other hand, they can not reveal trade secrets. To CAM software applications, for example, each manufacturing enterprises are relatively confidential data, especially after secondary development of the CAM software package, which involves the core technology of the accumulation of the essence of the processing parameters, such data is obviously Can not be open. It is currently feasible to set up and deploy its own private cloud solution through an enterprise-level partial cloud, establish a dynamic data center internally, centrally manage computing data and computing power, implement flexible resource allocation for device management and scheduling, and provide high-quality Process management, which serves customers faster, is the power of the cloud. If "cloud computing" is applied to production and processing, how to ensure the safety of key data without outflow and how to encrypt and decrypt it is a prerequisite to be guaranteed first and also a problem that must be solved.

To be sure, the future of CAD / CAM software will be achieved in the traditional platform, mobile platform and online platform for shared use. May also be in the near future, the manufacturing industry cloud landing and practice tends to mature, "cloud computing" in the manufacturing enterprise applications may show the immediate development, the sky up the development trend.

After all, in the manufacturing industry, "cloud computing" or whether the user is ready, if the user needs in this area, software providers will never miss a chance!
