Real Time Reaction Concept for Cyber Physical Production Systems

Abstract

New challenges arise with the development of a cyber physical production system (CPPS). In order to create a well-balanced production system, methods like self-control, decentralized decision-making and the fully automated steering of products in real time must be implemented. In this paper, we describe our approach for a Real Time Reaction (RTR) concept for a cyber physical production system. This approach addresses the above-mentioned challenges. Furthermore, we present the test scenario for our concept, as well as rules and requirements. Our aim is the development of a RTR-Concept which enables decentral decision-making based on the actual production system state. In addition, our concept is scalable and cross functional applicable for small lot sizes and high product variants which increases the reliability and reduces nonconformance costs.
