摘要
Virtual manufacturing (VM) is an integrated synthetic manufacturing environment exercised to enhance all levels of decision and control in a manufacturing networked enterprise. Autonomous manufacturing island (AMI) is an active, dynamic and flexible production cell in the domain of technology, organization and management. This paper explains the concept of VM, proposes the architecture of VM based on AMI and discusses its characteristics. Lastly, a pilot system of virtual manufacturing based on AMI is introduced.
