Concpt for a Cyber Physical Assembly System

Abstract

Changing conditions for manufacturing enterprises cause an increasing complexity in assembly processes by product customization and cost pressure. Coinstantaneous, the demographic changes exacerbate the harmonization of the different performances between employees. This causes wastage of productivityatinterfaces between process steps.The Cyber Physical Assembly System (CyPAS) extends the concept of Manufacturing Executing Systems (MES) with modular Cyber Physical Systems (CPS)to harmonize the assembly by considering the individual performance. By realizing interactive work schedules, itsupports the handling of a high level customization.
