Massive sensor data management framework in Cloud manufacturing based on Hadoop

Cloud Manufacturing provides a new concept and model for manufacturing informatization, which has become a hot research topic in modern networked manufacturing area. Cloud manufacturing systems generate huge amounts of sensor data from distributed manufacturing devices, and how to manage them efficiently becomes one of the main challenges of Cloud Manufacturing. Various software frameworks have been developed in Cloud Computing to handle massive data management, and the Hadoop framework has proved an effective solution. In this paper we introduce Hadoop to deal with the sensor data management in Cloud manufacturing systems. First we analyze the requirement of massive sensor data management in Cloud Manufacturing and the defects of traditional RDBMS (Relational Database Management System), and then present a framework supporting parallel storage and processing of massive sensor data in Cloud manufacturing systems based on Hadoop. This framework can provide a promising solution for massive sensor data management in Cloud Manufacturing.
