雲製造所指的是將分散式的製造資源封裝成雲端服務，使其可支援製造相關的活動。與直接使用雲端運算資源相比，雲製造是一種較進階的雲端運算應用。本論文開發完成一個雲製造平台：先進製造雲(Advanced Manufacturing Cloud, AMC)。先進製造雲提供許多製造相關的雲端服務，可幫助使用者執行一些工具機的智能化活動，例如，收集工具機加工資料到雲端、在雲端建立預測模型、從雲端將預測模型下載到工廠端以執行預測應用、透過雲端服務推薦合適的加工工具機或刀具、透過雲端服務提供虛擬工具機功能等。本論文首先描述AMC的架構設計，然後說明AMC核心功能之設計與實作。為了建置完成一個AMC的雛型，本研究將雲端服務部署於Windows Azure公有雲平台上。最後，本研究將AMC應用於合作廠商的工具機以進行整合測試與效能評估。測試結果驗證了AMC對促進工具機智能化的有效性。

Cloud manufacturing refers to encapsulating distributed manufacturing resources into cloud services to support manufacturing activities. Compared to direct usage of cloud computing resources, cloud manufacturing is a more advanced application of cloud computing. In this thesis, a cloud manufacturing platform, called AMC (Advanced Manufacturing Cloud), is developed. The AMC provides several manufacturing-related cloud services which can facilitate the users to conduct intelligent activities for machine tools, such as collecting and uploading machining data of machine tools to the cloud, creating prediction models in the cloud, downloading prediction models from the cloud to factories for performing prediction applications, recommending suitable machine tools or cutting tools by cloud services, and providing virtual machine tool functions via cloud services. This thesis presents the architecture design of the AMC first. Then, the design and implementation of the AMC’s core functions are described. To create a prototype of the AMC, the cloud services are deployed on the Windows Azure public cloud platform. Finally, the AMC is applied to the machine tools provided by a cooperative company so as to conduct integrated tests and performance evaluation. Testing results validate the effectiveness of the AMC in facilitating the intelligence of machine tools.
