Journal of Manufacturing Systems, 80, 610-625. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmsy.2025.03.017

This paper presents an innovative approach to integrating data-driven strategies into intelligent manufacturing systems, specifically targeting the challenges of configuration management in modular production environments. To address the distinct and... Read More about Intelligent configuration management in modular production systems: Integrating operational semantics with knowledge graphs.

Advancing Capability Matching in Manufacturing Reconfiguration with Large Language Models (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mo, F., Chaplin, J. C., Sanderson, D., & Ratchev, S. (2024, June). Advancing Capability Matching in Manufacturing Reconfiguration with Large Language Models. Presented at International Conference on Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing, Taichung, Taiwan

This paper introduces an approach that integrates Natural Language Processing (NLP) and knowledge graphs with Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS) to enhance flexibility and adaptability. We utilize a chatbot interface powered by GPT-4 and a st... Read More about Advancing Capability Matching in Manufacturing Reconfiguration with Large Language Models.

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.

Realisability of production recipes (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
de Silva, L., Felli, P., Chaplin, J. C., Logan, B., Sanderson, D., & Ratchev, S. (2016, August). Realisability of production recipes. Presented at 22nd European Conference in Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2016), The Hague, The Netherlands

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...
