Enterprise Modelling. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, July 2009, Pages: 256
Business goals of manufacturing systems are typically
in a state of constant change and greater rates of
change are predicted in the future. Whereas
contemporary approaches to the design and
construction of these systems often results in
inflexible enterprises that cannot readily be tuned
to changing business goals. This work has specified
and prototyped the use of a new model-driven and
component based approach to the design and
(re)configuration of “change capable” manufacturing
cells.
A new development of this modelling structure allows
pre-modelled tasks to be selected, detailed and
organised and suitable resources and reusable control
system components (or building blocks) assigned to
groups of tasks. Thereby this new approached to
designing and building manufacturing cells can
facilitate rapid and effective design and
reconfiguration of manufacturing cell control
systems. The research has shown how modelled sets of
software component building blocks can be specified
and implemented as modular, reusable elements of
manufacturing cell control systems.
