Abstract

The intelligent manufacturing is a complex engineering system, and the cyber-physical systems (CPSs) and the industrial Internet are the preliminary infrastructures. When cyber-physical-social systems (CPSSs) are formed by extending CPS into the social aspect, Societies 5.0 era is coming. In the Societies 5.0 era, social manufacturing (SM) is an innovative manufacturing solution for intelligent manufacturing. In this article, a survey on SM is introduced. It includes the definition and theory of SM, and comparison between SM and other manufacturing paradigms. Moreover, the key supporting technologies are presented, which can be used to realize SM, such as blockchain, 3-D printing, and big data. Then, the applications of SM to industries are illustrated. The SM has broad application prospects in the high-end customized, distributed manufacturing, and other intelligent manufacturing. Finally, the challenges and future trends are discussed.
