The worldwide competition has resulted in dramatic changes European manufacturing industries currently has to face. Thereby, flexibility is the main keyword. Future production systems are designed to provide both the possibility of mass customisation as well as of lot size one production with very specific requirements.The EC funded PABADIS'PROMISE project aims at providing a solution for most flexible manufacturing systems composed of autonomous acting system entities. Exploiting agent technology an architecture has been developed enabling on demand design and use of control applications as well as seamless integration of control devices based on manufacturing process execution capabilities. Within the following paper the control application execution of the PABADIS'PROMISE architecture will be described in detail.
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.
