Designing of Machine Backups in Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems

Abstract

The article presents the results of machine backup designing in reconfigurable industrial processes. The development of manufacturing systems is moving towards intelligent, automated, autonomous, and reconfigurable manufacturing systems. Factories that want to ensure long-term sustainable and competitive manufacturing processes must be designing their processes to respond flexibly to changing changes in customer requirements. The article’s introduction characterizes con-cepts such as cold backup and warm backup machines and indicators relationship as the time between faults and repairs. The second part (materials and methods) describes prerequisites as the creation of the product family creation and resource availability with many formulas, simulation models, and its verification for the creation of the family products in the third part of this article. The third part describes the results from the calculations of the backups and family products of their use in reconfigurable manufacturing systems. The developed methodology for line design uses the principles of reconfiguration in designing configurations regarding advanced approaches in facto-ries. A significant milestone will be the rapid integration of disruptive technologies and approaches into manufacturing systems. The complexity of future manufacturing systems in the Factories of the Future will only be possible with new innovative factory technologies using the digital twin.
