SMART MANUFACTURING SERVICE PLATFORM –
SERVICE-ORIENTED INTEGRATION REQUIREMENTS
OF THE MANUFACTURING RESOURCE/CAPABILITY

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
A PAS is a technical specification not fulfilling the requirements for a standard, but made
available to the public.
IEC PAS 63178 has been processed by subcommittee 65E: Devices and integration in
enterprise systems, of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control
and automation.

This PAS shall remain valid for an initial maximum period of 2 years starting from the
publication date. The validity may be extended for a single period up to a maximum of 2 years,
at the end of which it shall be published as another type of normative document, or shall be
withdrawn.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.

SMART MANUFACTURING SERVICE PLATFORM –
SERVICE-ORIENTED INTEGRATION REQUIREMENTS
OF THE MANUFACTURING RESOURCE/CAPABILITY

1 Scope
This PAS provides the requirements of all relevant manufacturing resources integrated to the
cloud manufacturing service platform, including integration of hard manufacturing resources,
soft manufacturing resources and manufacturing capabilities.
This document is used for the integration of the relevant resources to the smart manufacturing
service platform.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following
addresses:
• IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
• ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp
2.1
soft manufacturing resource
manufacturing resources that are based on software, data, models, knowledge
2.2
hard manufacturing resource
manufacturing equipment, computing equipment, materials, etc. used in a product life cycle
2.3
manufacturing capability
ability to complete various activities during the product life cycle, featured by the organic
combination of three main elements, human labour, management and technology
3 General requirements
The following requirements should be met:
a) Resource/capability integration to the smart manufacturing platform is generally divided
into hard manufacturing resource integration, soft manufacturing resource integration and
manufacturing capability integration.
b) Status data of soft/hard manufacturing resource and capability should be extracted, and
integrated to smart manufacturing platform through a wired or wireless network.
c) Physical manufacturing resource/capability should be transformed to logical ones. Logical
manufacturing resource/capability should be defined by unified description, which forms
description document of virtual manufacturing resource/capability.
d) Virtual manufacturing resource/capability should be integrated to the smart manufacturing
platform as a cloud service through a unified description of services and packaging
method.

4 Integration requirements of hard manufacturing resources
4.1 Integrated content
According to the business requirements in a manufacturing life-cycle, integrated hard
manufacturing resources typically include the following:
a) complete set of equipment, such as large-scale simulation test system and digital
production line, etc.;
b) production equipment, including mechanical equipment, electrical equipment,
environmental test equipment, etc.
4.2 Application requirements after integration
Integrated equipment/device should be applied in the following ways:
a) equipment/device status monitoring and resource utilization analysing;
b) equipment/device management;
c) equipment/device online renting and calling;
d) resource collaborative planning.
Integrated equipment/device should provide following information:
1) equipment/device general information;
2) equipment/device capability information;
3) equipment/device time information;
4) equipment/device status information;
5) equipment/device task information.
4.3 Integration mode
4.3.1 Complete set of equipment
4.3.1.1 Complete set of simulation test equipment
For the set of simulation test equipment which is well digitalized and has a complete set of
control systems, a local server with dual DNC can be added to connect and convert real time
network (reflective memory network) to research network, so that device is integrated and
instrumentation is realized, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 – Integration method for complete set of simulation equipment
4.3.1.2 Digital production line
For digital product line, there are generally two ways of integration:
• integrating distributed numerical control (DNC) centers, manufacturing execution systems
(MES) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to realize high-end integration and
control of digital production line;
• integrating digital production line through digital manufacturing center database, which is
generated by fully or semi-automatically collecting data of working status for equipment,
which is realized by adding bar code labels to tools and materials and giving unified digital
labels to all kinds of production resources.
4.3.2 Production equipment
Production equipment integration has the following two situations based on whether it has
networking capabilities or not:
a) Install smart capture terminals and sensors or I/O signal capture devices on the
production device which does not have the networking capacity, and then equipment
should be integrated.
b) There are generally two types of integration for production equipment that has a
networking capacity:
1) integrated through deploying industrial data getaways which has a platform integration
functionality;
2) integrated through digital numerical control centers (DNC), manufacturing execution
systems (MES) and enterprise resource planning systems (ERP).
