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.
