Flexibility and Re-configurability in Manufacturing by Means of Distributed Automation Systems – an Overview

  • Chapter
Distributed Manufacturing

Abstract

The fast changing bordering conditions for industrial manufacturing systems have raised the need to increase manufacturing system flexibility regarding different types of flexibility. To enable this enhanced flexibility, manufacturing control systems must be changed resulting in new challenges which have to be tackled by management and engineers of the affected companies. In parallel, within information sciences new paradigms for structuring and implementing software systems must be developed which are also applicable to design and implementation of control architectures. This paper deals with the applicability of these new paradigms for structuring and implementing software systems to address recent challenges within the manufacturing industry. Therefore, the paradigms and challenges are described and mapped to each other.
