“…A significant component of the control challenge relates to the logical reconfiguration of control programs. Lejri and Tagina [23], Li et al [24] and Zhang and Rodrigues [25] used Petri nets to model manufacturing processes. The authors demonstrated how Petri nets could be reconfigured to alter the sequential control of a process in conjunction with the physical reconfiguration of the system.…”

The economical production of mass customised and high variety goods is a challenge facing modern manufacturers. This challenge is being addressed, in part, by the on-going development of technologies that facilitate the manufacturing of these goods. Existing technologies require either excessive inbuilt flexibility or frequent changes to the machine set up to provide the manufacturing functions required for the customisation process. This paper presents design principles for automated assembly stations within the scope of mass customisation. Design principles are presented that minimise the hardware and operating complexities of assembly stations, allowing stations to be easily automated for concurrent mixed model assembly with a First In First Out (FIFO) scheduling policy. A reconfigurable assembly station is developed to demonstrate how the proposed design methods simplify the creation and operation of an assembly station for a product family of flashlights. OPSOMMINGDie ekonomiese vervaardiging van grootskaalse aangepaste en hoë verskeidenheid goedere is 'n uitdaging wat hedendaagse vervaardigers in die gesig staar. Die uitdaging word deels geadresseer deur die ontwikkel van tegnologieë wat die vervaardiging van hierdie goedere fasiliteer. Bestaande tegnologieë vereis egter uitgebreide ingeboude aanpasbaarheid of gereelde veranderinge aan die masjienopstelling, om die vervaardigingvermoë deur die aanpassings proses vereis, te verskaf. Hierdie artikel hou ontwerpbeginsels voor vir geoutomatiseerde monteerstasies binne die bestek van massa aanpasbaarheid. Die ontwerpbeginsels minimeer die hardeware-en bedryfkompleksiteit van monteerstasies. Hierdie benadering vergemaklik dit om stasies te outomatiseer vir gelyklopende gemengde model montering met 'n Eerste-In-Eerste-Uit (FIFO) skeduleringsbeleid. 'n Herkonfigureerbare monteerstasie is ontwikkel om te demonstreer hoe die voorgestelde ontwerpbeginsels die skep en bedryf van 'n monteerstasie vir 'n produk-familie van flitsligte vereenvoudig.

Reconfigurable manufacturing systems can change the structure of the systems to cope with manufacturing market requirements. Reconfigurability brings about new challenges for reconfigurable manufacturing systems' development. In order to describe, analyze, and verify the reconfiguration of reconfigurable manufacturing systems, a reconfigurable manufacturing system formal model is proposed from the perspective of multi-agent systems, in which two complementary formalisms, namely, object-oriented Petri nets and p-calculus, are employed as formalisms. The object-oriented Petri nets are utilized to model the initial structure as well as system behaviors of reconfigurable manufacturing systems, while p-calculus is adopted to describe the reconfiguration of reconfigurable manufacturing systems. Some supporting tools of Petri nets and p-calculus can be used to analyze, verify, and validate the reconfigurable manufacturing system formal model. The reconfigurability mechanism and consistency of reconfigurable manufacturing systems can also be analyzed by p-calculus.
