N2  - To cope with unpredictable demand and a wide variety of products, future production systems require agility. To realize manufacturing agility, the control system has to respond and adapt to variations in real-world, dynamic production environments. The control system has to promote requirements such as reduced complexity, increased flexibility, adaptation in real time, extensibility, heterogeneity and autonomous operation. A control system architecture is proposed ensuring manufacturing agility by adapting quickly and cheaply to changes in the production environment.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
