“…These both get close to objectives of the work reported in this paper, having the main difference on harmonisation of capabilities, not having abstraction layer present and encapsulation of resource's Intellectual Properties and implementation. This paper is refining and extending the earlier work reported in [15][16][17] and summarizes the core models from [18].…”

This paper introduces a concept and associated descriptions to formally describe physical production resources for modular and reconfigurable production systems. These descriptions are source of formal information for (automatic) production system design and (re-)configuration. They can be further utilized during the system deployment and execution. The proposed concept and the underlying formal resource description model is composed of three different description levels, namely Abstract Resource Description (ARD), Resource Description (RD) and Resource Instance Description (RID), each having different scope and objectives. This paper discusses in details the content and differences between these description levels.

“…virtual representation) and the control of the implemented assembly system. One possible concept used is the Emplacement concept [20] with the Emplacement and Blue Print file formats [21]. The concept is aimed to be generic and it is valid and usable for different system implementations at a wide range of domains including also the meso/micro assembly and manufacturing.…”

There exist a need for more cost effective and adaptable production solutions for miniaturised products. One promising approach to meet the market demands bases on so called desktop factories. They inherently offer a sustainable and energy efficient solution for the assembly of meso-and microsized parts. The realisation of adaptable automation solutions based on desktop factories under the paradigm of Evolvable Production Systems leads to the question of downscaling the implementation following the EPS guidelines. This paper describes some of the requirements and boundary conditions which occur in that process. The obligation to have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of all aspects along the production process is shown.

“…In recent years, the active EPS research community has extensively studied different aspects of such domain which, in turn has spread in different directions through a large amount of heterogeneous contributions: research requirements [10], design support tools and models [11,12], business processes [5,13,14], diagnostic [15,16], system deployment and description [17,18], system configuration [19], self-learning mechanisms [20], self-organization theory [21] and management of complexity [22] among the others. Most of the research efforts that shaped the EPS paradigm at the early stage have been carried out within the large collaborative European project EUPASS [23] while the more recent developments have been attained within the following European project IDEAS [24,25].…”
