Distributed production paradigms have grown in discrete manufacturing as discrete products are increasingly made by global, distributed networks. Challenges faced by discrete manufacturing, such as increased globalization, market volatility, workforce shortages, and mass personalization have necessitated scalable solutions that improve the agility of production systems. These challenges have driven the need for better collaboration and coordination in production via improved integration of production systems across the product lifecycle. This paper describes key industry use cases to motivate the research and development needed for distributed production in discrete manufacturing. The technological challenges that have hindered distributed production in discrete manufacturing are presented as is a state-of-the-art review of the standards and technologies that have been developed to overcome these challenges. Based on this review, future research directions are described to address the needs of industry and achieve the goals of distributed production in discrete manufacturing.
随着离散产品越来越多地由全球分布式网络制造，分布式生产范式在离散制造中得到了发展。离散制造面临的挑战，如全球化加剧、市场波动、劳动力短缺和大规模个性化，需要可扩展的解决方案来提高生产系统的敏捷性。这些挑战推动了通过在产品生命周期中改进生产系统集成来实现更好的生产协作与协调的需求。本文描述了关键的行业用例，以激发离散制造中分布式生产所需的研发工作。文中介绍了阻碍离散制造中分布式生产的技术挑战，以及为克服这些挑战而开发的标准和技术的最新综述。基于此综述，描述了未来的研究方向，以满足行业需求并实现离散制造中分布式生产的目标。
