- Integrating mechatronic thinking and multi-agent approachesPublication . Foehr, Matthias; Leitão, Paulo; Wagner, Thomas; Jäger, Tobias; Lüder, ArndtThe paper introduces a concept for the combination of mechatronic unit and multi-agent system approaches. It highlights how combining both approaches to a new kind of integrated system architecture may enforce the dissemination and reusability of methods and automatisms developed for one specific system architecture to other similar ones. Additionally it will show how this integrated architecture leads to a better exchange of Automation architectures in general. Thus, all systems compliant with the described architecture may benefit from methods and automatism applicable for a broad range of systems. The suitability of this integration approach is verified by using the example of a washing machine production line.
- System architectures for Industrie 4.0 applicationsPublication . Trunzer, Emanuel; Calà, Ambra; Leitão, Paulo; Gepp, Michael; Kinghorst, Jakob; Lüder, Arndt; Schauerte, Hubertus; Reifferscheid, Markus; Vogel-Heuser, BirgitIndustrie 4.0 principles demand increasing flexibility and modularity for automated production systems. Current system architectures provide an isolated view of specific applications and use cases, but lack a global, more generic approach. Based on the specific architectures of two EU projects and one German Industrie 4.0 project, a generic system architecture is proposed. This system architecture features the strengths of the three isolated proposals, such as cross-enterprise data sharing, service orchestration, and real-time capabilities, and can be applied to a wide field of applications. Future research should be directed towards considering the applicability of the architecture to other equal applications.
