Abstract: The new Industry 4.0 strategy defines the automatic interaction and dynamic synchronization among multiple production sub-systems under manufacturing internet of things(MIOT) enabled environment, aiming at maintaining the whole system in an optimally operating status. The synchronization of production and logistics sub-systems could largely enhance the overall production efficiency, yet how to vertically enable the dynamic adaption between decision and execution levels and at the same time to horizontally enable the global coordination among production and logistics sub-systems remain two key challenges of finally achieving the dynamic synchronization of production and logistics. A MIOT-enabled dynamic production-logistics synchronization framework is proposed, which extends the AUTOM information infrastructure to a production-logistics-adapted new infrastructure which supports multi-level and multi-stage seamless information exchanging, and then puts forward a multi-iteration adaptive decision mechanism to enable the synchronization of production and logistics. Finally, a practical industrial case of production-warehousing synchronization is used to demonstrate the proposed solution. A feasible MIOT-based application framework and system is provided, which enable the dynamic operation coordination and adaptive decision-making of large production system.
