“…In this metamodel, a structural joint of components is named as interface for flows of material, energy and information as well as a geometric joint for assembly. On the other hand, there is another metamodel RC4PA [56] for plant automation focusing on the reconfiguration mechanism of the system. In this metamodel, the control system is divided into several mechatronic components.…”

“…The industry also recognizes that reconfigurable machine tools (RMTs) are essential enablers of RMS; that reconfigurable assembly lines are, at least in theory, easier to achieve than RMS because of the less stringent tolerances; and that hybrid human-machine RMS are advantageous because they make use of the flexibility which is in-built in human nature but at a relatively low cost (ElMaraghy, 2005); Wiendahl et al, 2007. The study of reconfigurability in manufacturing extends to new approaches for control (e.g. Priego et al, 2015 andDurkop et al, 2014) and strategy (e.g. Fasth-Berglund and Stahre, 2013).…”

It is generally considered that economic feasibility of a reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) is only attainable if the system is defined to be reconfigurable at the outset of its design. In this work, we consider the potential exception to this perception, in the context of a common industrial scenario where a specialized and expensive manufacturing machine or system will otherwise be rendered useless due to the loss of business of the particular product being manufactured. Specific guidelines to convert from a fixed to a reconfigurable system are proposed, and evaluated through a case study. It is shown that under certain conditions, RMSs may be economically feasible even if they are developed through the modification of pre-existing dedicated systems.

“…[15] introduces the concept of Mechatronic Component (MC) as the code in charge of controlling a part of the process, and it analyzes when it is possible to recover its functionality after a controller fault. In [16], the concept of backup MC for state tracking is proposed. The novel contributions of this work go beyond them as follows:…”

Modern manufacturing systems are expected to be flexible and efficient in order to cope with challenging market demands. Thus, they must be flexible enough as to meet changing requirements such as changes in production, energy efficiency, performance optimization, fault tolerance to process or controller faults, among others. Demanding requirements can be defined as a set of quality of service (QoS) requirements to be met. This paper proposes a generic and customizable multi-agent architecture that, making use of distributed agents, monitors QoS, triggering, if needed, a reconfiguration of the control system to recover QoS. As a proof of concept, the architecture has been implemented to provide availability of the control system understood as service continuity. The prototype has been tested in a case study consisting of an assembly cell where assessment of the approach has been conducted.
