Abstract : Reconfigurable Assembly Systems (RAS) offer the
potential to enable rapid exchange of functional modules. There has
however been little investigation into the planning of multiple system
reconfigurations. The work proposes a capability-based approach;
consisting of a Reconfiguration Methodology, supported by a Capability
Model and Taxonomy. The Methodology focuses on multiple system
reconfigurations and is based upon operator-oriented definition, thereby
utilising existing knowledge and expertise. The Capability Model
consists of Capability Identification and Comparison processes: by
aggregating the results, capability and compatibility sets can be
derived. Further, the Model has strong links to the Capability Taxonomy.
The work describes the overall approach and key elements and provides a
detailed example application in software using a simple multi-product
test case. Key conclusions are drawn and future work
outlined.
