Manufacturing systems exist in many different variants and evolve over time in order to meet changing requirements or environment contexts. This leads to an increased design complexity as well as to increased maintenance effort. In order to appropriately handle this inherent complexity, we propose a multi-perspective modeling approach combining UML activity, component-based and state chart diagrams to separately represent different system aspects. We combine the multi-perspective modeling approach with delta modeling to capture the variability and evolution of these manufacturing systems. Delta modeling allows a flexible, yet concise and understandable representation of variability in a modular manner. We examine our approach by applying it to a manufacturing lab demonstrator system with automated code generation from models obtained by delta application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
