Report on Sharing the Product Service and Factory Function Via Cloud Computing.

 INTRODUCTION of Sharing the Product Service and Factory Function Via Cloud Computing.

Cloud computing is making the use of internet in an advanced way. Improved internet facilities over the years has enhanced the use of cloud computing. There are two types of clouds namely, private and public cloud. The public cloud sells the services publicly and example of this can be Amazon Web services whereas a private cloud is one that only gives services to some limited people. The goal however of both these types is to make life easier for people by giving them opportunity to access information in the fastest and easiest way.

There are three common categories of services that are provided by cloud computing. The first is IaaS that stands for infrastructure as a service. The second is PaaS that is platform as a service and lastly there is SaaS that is known as software as a service. In case of SaaS there is a third party involved that basically makes the applications available to customers through internet. In the case of PaaS the third party hosts the development and tools of applications in order to provide them to customers. Finally, IaaS is where the third part is responsible for hosting computer resources like storage, server etc and then it is available for use for the customers.

Cloud computing is usually said to have allowed the entrepreneurs do achieve more with less. The ease with which cloud computing is accessed by entrepreneurs anywhere anytime has made it really popular. There are a number of advantages that have increased the use of cloud computing by entrepreneurs. Some of the benefits are that it reduces costs, it can be easily used, it’s flexible enough for changes and it is the best way to automate the business. With pros there are always cons we are going to see if for entrepreneurs these cons play a huge role or not.

BACKGROUND of Cloud Computing.

Cloud computing has been the topic of interest since many years now so several studies have been conducted on it. The development of industry 4.0 is due to emergence of new concept of smart factory and traditional manufacturing system. In the traditional manufacturing system, incorporation of current smart system of cloud computing provides large range of transition concept and theory of smart factory is converted to practical concept. The framework to analyze the previously existing research features is modified from previous researches.  

Many technologies are introduced to convert the traditional manufacturing system into the smart factory system and these technologies includes Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Cloud Computing, Big Data, Internet of Services (IoS), Semantic Web, and virtualization. The smart technology in the business improves quality, transparency, performance and work of the factory system.

The classification of the existing system is based on the implementation of new technology. In the industrial revolution reshaping of the industry is due to information technology, automation, and communication system. The innovation in the industry empowers company to develop unique competitive advantages. The national industrial sector is competitive at the global market. Implementation of the new technology provides competitive advantage to increase responsiveness, utilization, efficiency, and cloud computing.

Usually the entrepreneurs want to use cloud computing because it brings many benefits however, it can be challenging for them. This is because it is considered difficult to bring changes in the workplace especially if the workers are not willing to cooperate. There can be a number of reasons to why the workers are not cooperative enough. It can either be issues with the workers or poor way of communicating change by the management. In case the management does not prepares the staff carefully about the change that is going to come then the workers are most likely going to support the management.

METHODOLOGY AND MODEL DEVELOPMENT of Cloud Computing.

Research we had two options when it came to research either we could use the primary sources or we could use the secondary data. We made use of both the types the secondary data was used since we looked at a number of research papers that were written before related to our topic. We also used several researches done before on this topic. Furthermore, we also looked at the primary data. We made use of interviews and surveys.

The interviews were done face to face. This helped us to clearly ask questions from several entrepreneurs. The surveys were taken online. The purpose of this was to reach those people who we could not take interviews from. This method made it possible for us to gather sufficient amount of information about the current market view about the cloud computing.

The survey had 15 questions some of them required a simple yes or no answer and the others ones required to be answered following the scale that was from satisfactory to not satisfactory.

A total of 100 respondents filled the survey we included both the respondents form the large scale and the small scale business as well.

 RESULTS of Sharing the Product Service and Factory Function Via Cloud Computing.

The results showed that the acceptability of cloud computer depended on the size of the firm. In case of large firms the change was brought every time with great care so the workers were more willing to cooperate whereas in the case of smaller firms this was not true. Generally, we found out that the smaller firms found it way more challenging than the larger firms. Several underlying reasons were found.

Firstly, workers were not motivated to accept this change since they thought that it could have some effect on their jobs. This insecurity rose because of the fact that mostly workers and it difficult to adapt to changes especially if they feel uncertain how things are going to be in the future.

Furthermore, a number of other issues were discovered. Some entrepreneurs eared that the use of cloud computing means that they are entirely dependent on the internet that means that if in any unfortunate event they are disconnected from the internet then they also won’t have any access to their data. Moreover, businesses that have sensitive data fear putting it up on the internet. Even though the data is most likely to be safe however, there is always a risk involved.

The providers of cloud computing have always said that they provide with the most safe security system however, it is always subject to hackers that may get access to sensitive data and they can use it for unfair purposes. In addition to this another issue is the cost. Even though cloud computing is not that expensive if we compare it to the big costly IT infrastructure but in case the business gets hold of any application that does not has all the features that the business requires then it gets really difficult as the business will have to but some more features that can be quite costly.

Big data structure is used for the raw data storage at multiple disparate formats. The traditional databases are mostly stored in the unstructured data and the structured data. The use of internet and social network has used large amount of system.

 The IBM marketing cloud, the data previously existing for the industry development enhanced the repository offers and the substantial potential for the data storage. The big data repository offers improves the potential storage of the information and the value chain of the manufacturing system.

The root causes of the failure and the potential data driving marketing are highly based on the buying habits. The implementation of big data in the industry creates challenges for the data transformation, modeling, data integration, and the cloud manufacturing process. The implementation of the cloud computing system improves the capabilities, manufacturing resources, and the services for the various suppliers are required to be considered.

The reversed researches are conducted to determine the concern of communication and data exchange for the internal elements of the system. The aim of the system to be developed in the industry is to integrate and compute the physical processes and networking system. The suggested scheduling process are developed to reduce the energy consumption and the approach of sensors.

 The sematic technology have potential advantage to resolve the standardized communication system. The use of information technology in the companies improves the communication system and provides the information to machines and human agents. The information and services provided through the secure processes becomes more accessible for the competitors.

The control architecture monitors the smart factory system and prime focus of services is on the decentralized and the multi agent system. The control architecture in the smart factory can be improved by online monitoring and the control system. The decentralization of multi agent services are required for the occurrence of deadlocks.

Some people have also reported that when they initially shifted towards using cloud computing they got a lot of complaints from customers

RECOMMENDATIONS of Sharing the Product Service and Factory Function Via Cloud Computing.

Companies should research on this problem of insecurity .The companies can invest in making this cloud computing more secure so that people prefer to use it .Moreover it can play a strong role in making people lives easier as companies can share the data easily and more confidently with the employees as well as the management without any threat of it being hacked or leaked.

Secondly employee training is also vital for making cloud computing easier to use in the day to day activities and transactions of the business. More and Efficient training means that employee would be better able to utilize this smart and latest technology with means that the output would be significantly maximized.

CONCLUSION on Cloud Computing.

The businesses at an advantage because it can store as much data as possible on the cloud as most of them do not come with any constraint. Moreover, the business can take advantage of reduced costs that would lead to higher profits level. But at the same time the business will have to consider that there are some disadvantages that it has to live with. The biggest disadvantage that most businesses face is that they always fear that their data is at risk because it can be exploited by others.

 The extent of the disadvantages can be reduced if the business takes careful decisions. Firstly, the business should try to take in these changes step by step. It should have to take applications one by one and analyze whether the decision has been successful or not. In case the results of using applications is not successful then the business should not take the decision of taking other applications. This is because it is really evident that the decision did not turned out to be better for the business.

To conclude it would be very difficult if any one business makes this choice of not moving towards cloud computing since it will be stuck with the traditional practice that are not very efficient for the business. The ease with which the data on the cloud can be stored, edited and us no matter wherever you are has made lives easier for millions of people. So every business needs to consider going for it however, in order to minimize the potential risks it is better that the business makes thoughtful decisions.
