Mini-MES: A Microservices-Based Apps System for Data Interconnecting and Production Controlling in Decentralized Manufacturing

Manufacturing factories and their resources are moving towards being networked, flat, flexible, and diversified in the context of social manufacturing. It is urgent to manage the increasingly complex and variable manufacturing processes effectively in such cross-factory production. This paper propos...

description Manufacturing factories and their resources are moving towards being networked, flat, flexible, and diversified in the context of social manufacturing. It is urgent to manage the increasingly complex and variable manufacturing processes effectively in such cross-factory production. This paper proposes a brand-new microservices-based Mini-MES (M<sup>2</sup>ES) Apps System, which adopts the decentralized and distributed architecture to comply with the needs of software supported manufacturing. The basic properties of the M<sup>2</sup>ES Apps System, such as its running logic and its data organization, are discussed, and a real-world industrial case is described to illustrate how it works. Results show that the proposed M<sup>2</sup>ES Apps System has better performance, reliability, and scalability than the initial information systems.
