Co** with evolution in automated production systems implies a cross-disciplinary
challenge along the system's life-cycle for variant-rich systems of high complexity. The …

Abstract The OMG standard Systems Modeling Language (SysML) has been on the market
for about thirteen years. This standard is an extended subset of UML providing a graphical …

The development of mechatronic systems involves the use of multiple disciplines, from
mechanical engineering to electronics engineering and computer science. Traditionally …

Innovations in Cyber-Physical System (CPS) are driven by functionalities and features.
Mechanical Engineering, on the other hand, is mainly concerned with the physical product …

Increasing complexity in today's manufacturing and production industry due to the need for
higher flexibility and competitiveness is leading to inconsistencies in the iterative exchange …

The development of automated production systems requires the collaborative effort of a
variety of stakeholders from different disciplines. In model-based systems engineering …

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are composed of independent and cooperative elements.
Rapid adaptation to disturbances is an essential characteristic of CPS. One of the …

During the lifecycle of mechatronic manufacturing systems, repeatedly exchanges of
different system elements have to be conducted. These system elements can be either …

The paradigm shift from mass production to mass customisation and reduced product
lifecycles requires continuous re-engineering/configuration of modern manufacturing …

Abstract Automated Production Systems (aPS) have lifetimes of up to 30–50 years,
throughout which the desired products change ever more frequently. This requires flexible …
