    Born 1968. After finalizing his PhD at Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg in the field of model based control engineering Arndt Lüder is working at IAF of Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg since 2001 where he is the head of Center of Distributed Systems since January 2006. End of 2011 he was bestowed the title “Associate Professor” in the field of research and teaching “Factory Automation”. The main focus of his work is on the application of innovative technologies in the area of factory automation such as object-oriented and agent-based architecture and implementation concepts, mechatronical concepts, Engineering methodologies and processes based on them, as well as Ethernet-based communication protocols. Beside that, he is involved in GMA technical committee “Agents in Automation” and the AutomationML alliance.

Abstract

Objects to change within a manufacturing enterprise can be products, technological or logistical processes, parts of the manufacturing facilities or a company's organization. For this paper we assume, that IT systems are also objects to change – they have to be adapted to changes to products and facilities on the shop floor. Today the adaption of IT systems is managed and done manually – therefore the authors propose an automated way of changing the production's IT-systems. For this purpose two main ideas are described: reading and interpreting a self-description of production equipment and enrichment of these descriptions with data from the “digital factory” bridging the gap between planning and operating IT-systems and thus enabling higher adaptivity of manufacturing systems.

Zusammenfassung

Eine der Herausforderungen an die Fabrik der Zukunft heißt Wandlungsfähigkeit – und zwar nicht nur auf physikalischer Ebene, sondern auch bezogen auf Software. Dabei ist die zentrale Idee, dass sich selbst beschreibende Geräte und Maschinen mit auf akzeptierten Industriestandards basierenden Schnittstellen genutzt werden, wenn neue Komponenten, Maschinen oder Anlagen in ein Produktionssystem eingebracht werden oder sich softwarerelevante Änderungen in der Produktion ergeben. In diesem Artikel beschreiben die Autoren Ansätze zur automatischen Integration neuer oder geänderter Geräte und Maschinen in ein Produktionssystem.
