Robotisering maakt processen mogelijk, die eerder economisch niet haalbaar waren. Innovatie en techniek versnellen de transitie naar de toekomst: een nieuwe economie, die uitdagingen én kansen biedt. Techniek - onder andere robotisering en AI (kunstmatige intelligentie) – speelt hierin een sleutelrol, …

Complex situations and systems can be studied by using adequate models in simulation. An important aspect of models and the simulation software is the ability to use a wide range of possible input parameters. The simulation described in this paper is based on agile manufacturing by using transport robots …

From the publisher's site: Reconfigurable manufacturing equipment is developed to meet the growing demand for more agile production. Agile manufacturing technology can improve the turnover of a company if it enables fast market introduction for volume production. Modular reconfiguration, defined as changing …

Elke periode kent zijn eigen revolutie en elke revolutie brengt zijn eigen organisatorische model met zich mee. We bevinden ons nu in de 4e industri¨ele revolutie, waar het internet van dingen ons verbindt met autonome embedded systemen. Deze systemen zijn actief in de virtuele ’cyber’ wereld, alsook in …

From the article: Abstract—By using agent technology, a versatile and modular monitoring system can be built. In this paper, such a multiagentbased monitoring system will be described. The system can be trained to detect several conditions in combination and react accordingly. Because of the distributed …

From the article: "The term Internet of Things (IoT) is used for situations where one or more devices are connected to a network or possibly the Internet. Most studies focus on the possibilities that arise when a device is capable to share its data with other devices or humans. In this study, the focus …

Author supplied: Abstract—The growing importance and impact of new technologies are changing many industries. This effect is especially noticeable in the manufacturing industry. This paper explores a practical implementation of a hybrid architecture for the newest generation of manufacturing systems. …

Standard mass-production is a well-known manufacturing concept. To make small quantities or even single items of a product according to user specifications at an affordable price, alternative agile production paradigms should be investigated and developed. The system presented in this article is based …

Author supplied: In a production environment where different products are being made in parallel, the path planning for every product can be different. The model proposed in this paper is based on a production environment where the production machines are placed in a grid. A software entity, called product …
