Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present the influence of some architectural choices on the flexibility of a manufacturing control system. Architectures play a variety of roles in the redesign of manufacturing systems. Evolving technology and an increasingly demanding manufacturing environment have been accompanied by an evolutionary growth in control architectures. We present a number of architectural paradigms and their application in a model factory, which is based on a real life PCB assembly plant. Flexibility is determined, to a large extent, by the architectural design. However, its achievement may be limited by the technology that is used for implementation. Guidelines are needed that prescribe when certain architectural principles should be applied.
