Flexible Production Experts for reconfigurable assembly technology
Team:
Prof. Dr. Norbert Link
Funding: EU
Duration: 2007 - 2011
Overview
Expertons are a combination of different classical hardware and software components with an integrated knowledge system.
This enables Expertons to determine the best production parameters for a given task. As a result expertonic assembly units can flexibly perform varying types of complex tasks, whereas today this is limited to a few pre-defined tasks.
By linking Expertons in cross-sectoral learning networks, the Expertonic Networked Factory is established. This network of Expertons enables continuous process improvement.
Partners & Funding
XPRESS is co-funded by the European Commission as an Integrated Project (IP) under the 6th Framework Programe.
