Development of a Language Extension for Configuration of Industrial Asset Capabilities in Self-organized Production Systems

The process of managing and configuring industrial assets has produced a number of solutions over the last few years. Although a number of process models and standards simplify the management of manufacturing equipment, there is still a lack of suitable free software applications and frameworks that incorporate new trends. The increasing need for self-organized production systems in adaptive manufacturing environments poses a particular challenge. This paper examines the current state of model-driven software development in self-organized adaptive production systems and proposes a tool that bridges the gap between asset management and configuration of a self-organized production system. The resulting system is developed and tested against a real self-organized production system, and the following research efforts are derived from the findings gained throughout the testing process.
