“…For this purpose, starting from the actual user requirement specifications (overall project requirements and product model) a Process-oriented ontology has been developed within the EPS domain. This ontology has the aims to describe and guide the assembly process specification both for new assembly system configuration and for reconfiguration of existing assembly systems [8]. One of the most relevant consequences of this ontological representation is that the conceptual and physical links between the product's features and the actual manufacturing system will be evident since the first stages of a new project.…”

“…One of the answers to the needs listed above comes from the Evolvable Paradigm (Onori [5], Barata e al [6]) which has, since his appearance, been declined in many different fields. Major efforts in this direction has been done during the EUPASS project (included in the European Community 6 th framework programme) where a common architecture [7] along with a system setting methodology [4] have been developed and where an Ontolology for the representation of domain knowledge [8] and agentified control solutions [9] have been provided. As it is better detailed in the next paragraphs all these achievements lead to an innovative concept of manufacturing system which hardly fits in the traditional , rigid and well established way to approach the business nowadays.…”

Abstract-The aim of this paper is to define, through a survey of the current achievements within the Evolvable Paradigm universe, the potential target companies for the Evolvable Manufacturing Systems and to describe some features of a business model that fits the EPS structure and requirements. Therefore, the new, main, concerns surfacing by the introduction of the Evolvable Paradigm into the industrial field have been underlined and analysed in order to put into evidence the economical advantages achievable with their adoption. A simplified version of the EPS methodology is hereby presented as a framework in which concept like life cycle of a product, investment evaluation tools and "coopetition" have been integrated enabling crossed considerations.

Abstract:In today's increasingly volatile and dynamic global markets it is mcreasingly important to react to changing market demands and reduce the time-to-market. The design and re-design of assembly systems has a significant impact on the product development time. This paper reports on the effort that has been put into developing an assembly process decomposition and modular assembly equipment configuration methodology that takes advantage of the current trend towards modular equipment solutions and is expected to reduce deslgn time and improve the design process integration. A general framework for the proposed methodology has been outlined and an ontology for the design of modular assembly systems is being discussed.

“…Finally, an object is any entity that does not fall into any of the previous three categories (Gruninger 2009). Some ontologies for specific processes have been developed as extensions of PSL (Deshayes, El Beqqali, and Bouras 2005;Lohse et al 2005). PSL has also served as a foundational layer for the ontological proposal of Chungoora and Young (2011).…”

Efficiency in the management of integrated product and processes development is a basic requisite to guarantee competitiveness and success for manufacturing companies. This means that operational management of activities, and human and material resources is extremely important, especially in virtual OKP (One-of-aKind Production) systems, and must cover related aspects of their capabilities and social character as well as assignment criteria. In this context, and to facilitate collaborative resources management, an ontology focused on resources and capabilities is proposed in this work. This ontology supports the necessary knowledge for generic and collaborative process planning, providing a shared common semantic for all the members of the virtual company. This work differs from other proposed ontologies in the area of process planning in that the resources considered are all those elements that participate in the execution of the different activity types involved in this wide and complex process. The ontology directly covers the shared, social nature of the resources, the agentive behavior of many of them and a characterization of their capabilities, thus providing specific solutions to the needs of the Collaborative Integrated Development of Products, Processes and Resources (CIDP 2 R) process.
