Systems and methods for factory catalog management and distribution of orders and services
Certain examples provide systems and methods for cloud-based factory storage and provisioning of orders and other items. An example cloud-based factory catalog apparatus is disclosed including a data store to include reference content, rules, and tenant content; a processor to map incoming tenant content to the reference content to form a catalog content set and to store the catalog content set in the data store to be output to at least one tenant system; and an interface to receive the incoming tenant content and provide the catalog content set to the at least one tenant system. An example computer-readable storage medium is disclosed including instructions which, when executed, particularly configure at least one processor to at least: map incoming tenant content to reference content using rules to form a catalog content set; store the catalog content set in a data store; and provide the catalog content set to at least one tenant system.
1. A factory catalog system comprising:
a cloud computing device structured to communicate with at least one tenant system, the cloud computing device including:
a data store structured to store reference content, rules, and tenant content;
a processor structured to execute the rules stored by the data store effective to map incoming tenant content received from the at least one remote tenant to the reference content to form a catalog content set and to store the catalog content set in the data store to be output to at least one tenant system; and
an interface structured to receive the incoming tenant content from the at least one tenant system and provide the catalog content set to the at least one tenant system.
2. The system of claim 1 , further including an edge device to facilitate input of the incoming tenant content and output of the catalog content set.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one tenant system is to establish a connection with the interface to exchange content.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the connection is to be a private network connection.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the catalog content set is to be organized according to an orderable item data model.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is to maintain a subscription to the catalog content set for the at least one tenant system.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is to, upon an update, map updated content with respect to the catalog content set.
8. A computer-readable storage medium comprising:
instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of a cloud computing device, are effective to:
map incoming tenant content to reference content using rules to form a catalog content set;
store the catalog content set in a data store of the cloud computing device; and
provide the catalog content set to at least one tenant system.
9. The storage medium of claim 8 , wherein an edge device is to facilitate input of the incoming tenant content and output of the catalog content set.
10. The storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the at least one tenant system is to establish a connection with an interface to exchange content with the at least one processor.
11. The storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the connection is to be a private network connection.
12. The storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the catalog content set is to be organized according to an orderable item data model.
13. The storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to maintain a subscription to the catalog content set for the at least one tenant system.
14. The storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to, upon an update, map updated content with respect to the catalog content set.
