Common shared system model for evolvable assembly systems (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Sanderson, D., Chaplin, J., & Ratchev, S. (2018). Common shared system model for evolvable assembly systems.

A vital aspect of distributed control in an adaptable production system is coherence between each system resource. The Evolvable Assembly Systems project addresses this challenge using a common shared system model. This paper provides an overview of...

Functional modelling in evolvable assembly systems (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Sanderson, D., Chaplin, J. C., & Ratchev, S. (2018). Functional modelling in evolvable assembly systems.

The design and reconfiguration of adaptive production systems is a key driver in modern advanced manufacturing. We summarise the use of an ap-proach from the field of functional modelling to capture the function, behaviour, and structure of a system....

Toward process control from formal models of transformable manufacturing systems (2017)
Journal Article
Bakker, O. J., Chaplin, J. C., de Silva, L., Felli, P., Sanderson, D., Logan, B., & Ratchev, S. (2018). Toward process control from formal models of transformable manufacturing systems. Procedia CIRP, 63, 521-526. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.procir.2017.03.159

The automation and flexibility of production systems is a key step towards improved profitability and competitiveness in high labour cost areas, when producing high-complexity, low-volume products. In the Evolvable Assembly Systems (EAS) project, the... Read More about Toward process control from formal models of transformable manufacturing systems.

Synthesising industry-standard manufacturing process controllers (2017)

Realisability of production recipes (2016)
Conference Proceeding
de Silva, L., Felli, P., Chaplin, J. C., Logan, B., Sanderson, D., & Ratchev, S. (2016). Realisability of production recipes. In ECAI 2016 - 22nd European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (1449-1457). https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-61499-672-9-1449

There is a rising demand for customised products with a high degree of complexity. To meet these demands, manufacturing lines are increasingly becoming autonomous, networked, and intelligent, with production lines being virtualised into a manufacturi...

Design requirements for effective hybrid decision making with Evolvable Assembly Systems (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Golightly, D., Sanderson, D., Holmes, P., Ratchev, S., & Sharples, S. (2016). Design requirements for effective hybrid decision making with Evolvable Assembly Systems. In ECCE '16: Proceedings of the European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics. https://doi.org/10.1145/2970930.2970949

This paper examines 10 challenges for making automation a team player in the context of Evolvable Assembly Systems (EAS) with the aim of delivering requirements for effective hybrid human-automation decision making. Specific decision making use cases... Read More about Design requirements for effective hybrid decision making with Evolvable Assembly Systems.
