Process planning and decentralised process control for cybertronic production systems

摘要

Cybertronic systems which augment mechatronic basis systems by means of communication, collaboration and intelligence are proposed to be utilised to develop next generation production systems. A model-based development process is proposed to enable integrated design and development of the product and the production system. This paper will highlight the importance of process planning as collaborative activity within the integrated design and development process. A concept will be introduced how process planning already at high level planning can be conducted for cybertronic production systems, considering decentralised production planning and control already during the design phase.
