Deployment of a distributed multi-agent architecture for transformable assembly (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Chaplin, J. C., & Ratchev, S. (2018). Deployment of a distributed multi-agent architecture for transformable assembly. In Precision assembly in the digital age (15-28). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-05931-6_2

Industry 4.0 represents a new philosophy in manufacturing systems, based on networked, intelligent, and cooperative resources. This revolution is necessary to make the cost-effective production of batch-size-of-one customised items in high-value manu...

Conceptual framework for ubiquitous cyber-physical assembly systems in airframe assembly (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Sanderson, D., Chaplin, J. C., & Ratchev, S. (2018). Conceptual framework for ubiquitous cyber-physical assembly systems in airframe assembly.

Current sectoral drivers for the manufacturing of complex products - such as airframe assembly -require new manufacturing system paradigms to meet them. In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework for cyber-physical systems driven by ubiquitous...

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....
