How the Technologies underlying Cyber-Physical Systems support the Reconfigurability Capability in Manufacturing. A Literature Review Nowadays, manufacturing firms need the reconfigurability capability to be responsive in the current context characterized by unpredictable and frequent market changes and the reduction of product life cycle. Despite the relevance of the subject, a challenge for practitioners is the development of a strategy aimed to increase the level of reconfigurability with long-term goals of customization and responsiveness. Moreover, traditional manufacturing paradigms are disrupted by the transformation of manufacturing systems in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), thus introducing innovative means also to increase the level of reconfigurability in manufacturing systems. This study investigates what technologies underlying CPS support the reconfigurability capability and how these support the reconfigurability along system life cycle. Thus, the technologies underlying CPS are classified in seven categories and it is shown how they enable the sequence of utilization of the reconfigurability characteristics (modularity, integrability, diagnosability, scalability, convertibility and customization) along system life cycle. The results of the study can guide practitioners in developing reconfigurability as strategic capability. Moreover, different directions for future research can be considered, as discussed in the conclusions.

The recent increase on the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 fields has led the research topics to investigate on the innovative technologies that could support these emerging topics in different area of applications. In particular, the current trends are to close the gap between the physical and digital worlds, thus originating the so-called Cyber-Physical System (CPS). A relevant feature of the CPS is the digital twin, i.e., a digital replica of a process/product with which user can interact to operate on the real world. In this paper, the authors propose an innovative approach exploiting an Augmented Reality solution as Digital Twin for the measurement instrument to obtain a tight connection between the measurements as physical world and the Internet of Things as digital applications. In fact, by means of the adoption of the 3D scanning strategy, Augmented Reality software and with the development of a suitable connection between the instrument and the digital world, a Cyber-Physical System has been realized as an IoT platform that collect and control the real measurement instrument and makes its available in Augmented Reality. An application example involving a digital storage oscilloscope is finally presented to highlight the efficacy of the proposed approach.

With globalization and the high competitiveness faced in a business environment, adopting technological solutions to satisfactory respond to an increasingly demanding customer is the watchword for organizations. With technological advances and an increasingly volatile society, it is mandatory for industries to ensure agile production processes capable of responding quickly and assertively to consumer expectations. Industry 4.0 with its technological pillars comes up to boost company to have more flexible and agile processes. This work results of a project developed in an automotive factory that will be producing a new mechanical part. The definition of the best layout of the production line was carried in an instable environment characterized by budget limitations, security and space restrictions that forced the company to study and discuss four possible layouts to define the future line. The goal was to ensure that the line was able to produce 3625 parts/week with an Operational Income of 87%. Moreover, it was also important to consider the cost of implementing a new line in the company. With this study it is proven that in an automotive industry where flexibility is required in an unpredictable environment during a decision-making process, analyzing the impact and possible consequences of every change in a layout definition phase is a great asset, where alteration like adding a conveyor, Automated Guided Vehicle or Robots can be made easy and quickly, and important conclusions can be taken from this analyze with less effort. Finally, 2 criteria were created to examine every variant and a decision was made.
