This article examines a solution to a complex problem of integration, with two differentiating features: first, the great variety of the different applications and second their integration into a single production machine. The content has been extracted from the work that is being done in the European Project named Kobas, that was approved in a call focused on solving problems faced by SMEs. In this project the companies are specialized in the construction of capital goods. The article structure first starts showing the problem to be solved, will then describe the framework of the project in which the solution has been developed and finally addresses the solution itself in greater detail.
