Self-Adaptive Highly Modular and Flexible Assembly Demonstrator Design and Set-Up

This task will focus on the deployment of self-adaptive and reconfigurable production modules, which can easily aggregated to high-speed assembly systems. The concept for the deployment of highly modular and highly flexible assembly systems will be based on the standard interfaces, “plug and produce” mechanisms and middleware solution developed in WP2. Self-adaptability and quick reconfigurability will be enabled by methods and tools also developed in WP3 and WP4. Key to this task, as a differentiating factor, is the full deployment of tools provided by WP4 to support planning, scheduling and operational performance in general. The methodologies and strategies defined in WP5 will be used to support the migration of existing systems to a self-adaptive and reconfigurable approach. At the same time, this task is expected to provide meaningful feedback to WP5 for the refinement of these methodologies and strategies.
