A Framework for IoT-based Reconfigurable Manufacturing System

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Reconfigurable Manufacturing System (RMS) appeared as a solution to high variation in customer demands allowing manufacturers to satisfy different amount of demands in each single period. In RMS, the system satisfies demands by arranging configuration of the system or relocating machines exactly when and where needed; adding and removing machines whose number depends on the demand of every single period. RMS is also supported by its dedicated machining center, called as Reconfigurable Manufacturing Tools (RMT). However, recently Internet of Things (IoT) has been a global issue that requires many global companies and manufacturers to integrate it into their smart systems. Therefore, this paper adresses the importance of the integration of IoT into RMS and the improvement of RMT in order to comply with the proposed IoT-based RMS. This study provides a framework describing the integration of IoT into the
existing RMS, as well as the open architecture controllers for RMT.
