A novel adaptive process planning framework
Today’s successful production companies are characterized by factors once neglected, like the ability to learn from experience and to flexibly adapt to changes in the environment. In order to significantly improve such qualities, in current research activities a new specie of learning and intelligent components is being developed. The capacities of such “gentelligent® components” to gather information and to act autonomously offer new potentials for increasing efficiency in production. One of the current concerns is that a big part of manufacturing orders cannot be processed as planned because of disturbance arising after completion of planning activities. In this paper, a novel approach for the partial integration of process planning and production control is presented, which allows exploiting the potentials of gentelligent® components in order to flexibly react to disturbances in production.
