Building Blocks as an Approach for the Planning of Adaptable Production Systems

摘要

Global trends demand the design of adaptable production systems. The department of Factory Planning and Factory Management at Chemnitz University has proven its extensive competences in this field. On this basis the concept of Building Blocks for Adaptable Production Systems was developed. It is implemented in the existing Experimental and Digital Factory of the department. This includes an integrated design of product and production system. The approach is modular. In result, planning/visualization modules of the Digital Factory as well as modules for machining, material flow, information flow and energy flow are investigated. Fields of application are shown.
