Methodik zur prozessorientierten Planung serviceorientierter Fabriksteuerungssysteme

Summary Modern factory systems are supposed to be flexible and variable to best possibly react to unforeseeable changes in market demand. Therefore production modules and assembly lines need to be reconfigurable due to changing requirements of commodity products. Furthermore, these modules ought to be capable of autonomously customizing their way of cooperating with each other. This aspect compromises the potential to lengthen the lifetime of originally static production plants, which typically become absolete the more actual products change. In order to reconfigure highly automated and complex factory control systems, modular and reusable hard- and software with a high degree of abstraction is needed.
