Abstract

Due to different trends in manufacturing, existing mechatronic systems, such as automated manufactur-ing machines, are obliged to evolve in order to cope with a quickly changing environment. The evolution of mechatronic systems is achieved by adaptation processes, where changes in the physical structure of a system and/or its automation software are performed. An important phase of an adaptation process is the modeling and analysis of existing interdependencies between system elements which serve as a basis for subsequent adaptation phases. However, current modeling approaches mostly focus on single sys-tem element types and do not regard the holistic system, i.e., products, processes and resources. Accord-ingly, in this contribution a concept for modeling interdependencies between products, processes and re-sources is proposed with the aim of providing a solid data base for the generation of adaption options. The application of the concept is demonstrated by an illustrative example of a pick-and-place unit.
