As a consequence, the diversity of products will increase and the lot sizes will decrease. Thus more product types have to be handled along the process chain and common production paradigms will fail. Hence, Rapid Manufacturing (RM) will be used for manufacturing small individual lot sizes. Nevertheless, new solution for joining and assembling these components are needed. The state of the art production control solutions exhibit several disadvantages while responding mass customization. A comprehensive and real time intelligent production control and monitoring system can overcome these limitations which will be the totality of intelligent production control and will be based on intelligent soft computing algorithms and smart intelligent peripheral devices. The concept is based on three interlinked main modules: a technology data catalogue (TDC) to access, share, process and structure relevant engineering data, an automated scheduling processor (ASP) based on graph theory to get an optimized and adaptable work plan using feature technology and a central programmable automation controller (PAC) for real-time sensor/actor communication. The processes will be controlled through PAC and influenced by humans through scalable human machine interfaces. The PAC and its supported software's widespread functionality for real time applications and compatibility and flexibility with the conventional programming languages will enable in developing customized palette of functions and tools for scalable level of control solutions. It will have a widespread accessibility as it will influence the execution of robot programs after pre-processing the data coming from various peripheral devices and calculating new robot paths by segmentation of detected curves and paths corresponding to the process planning information via one interface. The human machine communication will be based on the ontological approach as a natural language interaction system for filtering and translating into machine command. The entire concept will be demonstrated in a laboratory set-up with distinct machining, assembly and joining processes and will be experimentally validated in European research and development projects.}, language = {en} } @incollection{VargasMinhasLebedynskaetal., author = {Vargas, Veronica and Minhas, Sarfraz Ul-Haque and Lebedynska, Yuliya and Berger, Ulrich}, title = {Enhancing Productivity through Integrated Intelligent Methodology in Automated Production Environment}, language = {en} } @incollection{MinhasKretzschmannVargasetal., author = {Minhas, Sarfraz Ul-Haque and Kretzschmann, Ralf and Vargas, Veronica and Berger, Ulrich}, title = {Mass Customization Responsive Automated Assembly Cells}, editor = {Piller, F.
