In manufacturing, many use cases of Industrie 4.0 require vendor-neutral and machine-
interpretable information models to describe, implement and execute resource functions …

The research community is puzzled with words like skill, action, atomic unit and others when
describing robots' capabilities. However, for giving the possibility to integrate capabilities in …

Modular production systems provide the opportunity to react more flexibly to customer-
individual requirements resulting in smaller batch sizes. The implementation of capabilities …

A skill-based engineering approach promises to increase changeability and flexibility in
modern industrial automation systems. Skills can be modelled as finite state machines and …

The trend towards individual products and decreasing lot sizes demands more flexible
production. One approach is skill-based engineering in which product properties are …

To achieve flexible, resilient and sustainable production, the generation of dynamic cross-
company supply chains gains importance. The Shared Production scenario aims at sharing …

Abstract Cyber-Physical Production Modules (CPPMs) must be described by vendor-
independent and machine-readable standardized information models. Standards make …

In the vision of smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0, it is vital to automate production
processes. There is a significant gap in current practices, where the derivation of production …

Digital twins with a skill-based description are increasingly finding their way into industrial
production. Their models link properties of a product with available process capabilities that …

In order to react more dynamically and flexibly to individual customer requirements, the
concepts of skill-based engineering can also be applied in the field of machining …
