“…Summarizing, the term engineering configurator is frequently used within literature but implies in most cases a PC e.g. in [4] or [6]. In general, a PC gives automatic access to different existing product variants [2].…”

“…Due to the large solution space of RAS planning, the functional scope of a KBEC is less predefined compared to a PC [15,24], which requires additional development methods. Existing approaches are either not based on the product to be produced and do not consider interdependencies between product and production system or are too generic or focused on deviating production areas in order to adequately represent the details of specific RAS [6,11].

Automation solutions in production represent a sensible and long-term cost-effective alternative to manual work, especially for physically strenuous or dangerous activities. However, especially for small companies, automation solutions are associated with a considerable initial complexity and a high effort in planning and implementation. The ROBOTOP project, a consortium of industrial companies and research institutes has therefore developed a flexible web platform for the simplified, modular planning and configuration of robot-based automation solutions for frequent tasks. In this paper, an overview of the project’s scientific findings and the resulting platform is given. Therefore, challenges due to the scope of knowledge-based engineering configurators like the acquisition of necessary data, its description, and the graphical representation are outlined. Insights are given into the platform’s functions and its technical separation into different Microservices such as Best Practice selection, configuration, simulation, AML-data-exchange and spec-sheet generator with the focus on the configuration. Finally, the user experience and potentials are highlighted.
