Abstract:	Ceramic manufacturing enterprises, as typical multi species, small batch and energy intensive consumption manufacturing enterprises, are faced with problems such as high energy consumption, long production cycle, many varieties, and complex production processes, so how to improve the energy and resource utilization efficiency of ceramic manufacturing and further realize energy saving and consumption reduction has become an important issue that ceramic enterprises urgently need to solve. To address this goal, firstly, a cloud side end collaboration driven energy efficient scheduling architecture for ceramic manufacturing process is proposed, which relies on cloud side end collaboration technology to support the scheduling optimization of ceramic manufacturing process. Secondly, a flexible flow shop scheduling model for the ceramic manufacturing process is established with the optimization objectives of minimizing the maximum completion time and minimizing the total energy consumption. The scheduling model is solved using the Gray Wolf optimization algorithm because it has strong global search capability and helps to find the global optimal solution. Finally, the effectiveness of the Gray Wolf optimization algorithm in the flexible flow shop scheduling optimization of ceramic manufacturing process is verified by designing an arithmetic example in combination with the actual situation of ceramic factories and using it as the experimental data.
