“…Next step were flexible production systems with programmable machines that allowed production of a variety of different products but offered no flexibility in the production capacity [5]. As the results of the latest development are reconfigurable manufacturing systems able to adapt their hardware and software components to follow ever-changing market requirements of type and quantity of the products [6], [7].…”

Abstract-Industry 4.0 is a strategic initiative recently introduced by the German government. The goal of the initiative is transformation of industrial manufacturing through digitalization and exploitation of potentials of new technologies. An Industry 4.0 production system is thus flexible and enables individualized and customized products. The aim of this paper is to present and facilitate an understanding of Industry 4.0 concepts, its drivers, enablers, goals and limitations. Building blocks are described and smart factory concept is presented. A Reference Architecture Model RAMI4.0 and role of standardization in future implementation of Industry 4.0 concept are addressed. The current status of Industry 4.0 readiness of the German companies is presented and commented. Finally it is discussed if Industry 4.0 is really a disruptive concept or simply a natural incremental development of industrial production systems.

Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMSs), which possess the advantages of both dedicated serial lines and flexible manufacturing systems, were introduced in the mid-1990s to address the challenges initiated by globalization. The principal goal of an RMS is to enhance the responsiveness of manufacturing systems to unforeseen changes in product demand. RMSs are costeffective because they boost productivity, and increase the lifetime of the manufacturing system. Because of the many streams in which a product may be produced on an RMS, maintaining product precision in an RMS is a challenge. But the experience with RMS in the last 20 years indicates that product quality can be definitely maintained by inserting in-line inspection stations. In this paper, we formulate the design and operational principles for RMSs, and provide a state-of-the-art review of the design and operations methodologies of RMSs according to these principles. Finally, we propose future research directions, and deliberate on how recent intelligent manufacturing technologies may advance the design and operations of RMSs.

“…The second phase deals with discrete optimization to search the optimal configurations from the ones that were produced in the phase one. Reconfigurable Machine Tool (RMT) is modular type of machine tool having the characteristics like convertibility, integrability and modularity [4]. These characteristics of RMS allow mass customization and rapid response to the product design change.…”

Abstract-The concept of reconfigurable manufacturing system has emerged drastically as it reduces the product lead time and meets with the market demand efficiently. The performance of a manufacturing system lies on a set of planning and scheduling data incorporated with the machining capabilities keeping in view the market demands. The proposed work focuses on the formulation of an optimal framework for production over part families. Machine's kinematic configurations are generated considering tool's degree of freedom. The application of non-dominating sorting genetic algorithms over machine configurations makes this approach more reliable. A case study has been presented to illustrate the application of proposed model based on the technological constraints.
