During the development of intralogistics systems (ILS), heterogeneous models are created, which represent discipline-specific views, e.g., control software developed by automation engineers or discrete-event simulation models created by simulation engineers. These models represent discipline-specific views on the system but contain overlapping information. Thereby, keeping the information in different development models consistent is challenging and currently requires high manual effort, which highly depends on the developers’ experience. To overcome this challenge, an approach to link heterogeneous model data and identify potential information inconsistencies within and between models automatically is proposed. The concept is evaluated with a use case containing three typical inconsistencies from five representative engineering models applied in ILS development.
Beim Entwickeln von Materialflusssystemen werden verschiedene Modelle genutzt. Wegen fehlender automatischer Synchronisation können sich die Eigenschaften des gleichen Elements in einzelnen Modellen widersprechen. Um dieses als Inkonsistenz bezeichnete Problem zu untersuchen, ist die Kenntnis der durchgeführten Abläufe und auftretenden Fehler in der Praxis notwendig. In diesem Beitrag wird eine Studie zu Herausforderungen und Potenzialen in der Entwicklung von Materialflusssystemen vorgestellt.
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.
