Reconfigurable Production Systems - An Appraisal of Applied Production Breakdown Solution Strategies

  • Conference paper
Enabling Manufacturing Competitiveness and Economic Sustainability

Abstract

Due to international competition and frequently changing customer demands, manufacturers production requirements become more complex. Production breakdowns demand for efficient fault solutions. Commonly, this problem is often tried to be tackled by the design of the production systems architecture. An alternative way is the consideration of the system behaviour. The paper proposes an approach based on a behaviour pattern concept for identifying alternate fault and reconfiguration solutions. Further, this work deals with typically applied approaches and strategies for breakdown solution and illustrates appraisements for a use case due to hybrid simulation.
