46、g industries.The approach to manufacturing is quickly moving away from puremass production to mass customization. In order to rise to the chal-lenge of these emerging trends, new plant structures and productionfacility operation methods are necessary. Future production facili-ties need to be flexibl

47、e, adaptable and allow fast, changes all at littlecost. Todays flexible production systems already provide the mech-anisms for producing different products in the same plant. Howeverthis flexibility comes with high cost. First of all such plants havehigher initial costs compared to standard plants.

48、But what is evenmore important, they incorporate a high operational cost becauseof down-times needed for adapting to new products or because ofbreakdowns in the plant (e.g., continuous processes with long ramp-up times). Therefore, means are necessary that provide flexibilitywithout the need to stop

49、 the production.As early as 1991, a visionary study by the Iacocca Institute(1991) demanded the overall support for reconfiguration of manu-facturing plants with their Agile Manufacturing concept. The con-cept included reconfiguration on all plant levels, even the physicalreconfiguration of production resources (e.g., adding a new machineor changing a machines structure). In order to support this concept,the control software needs to be dynamically reconfigurable to bothbring about and adapt to the physical changes. Whatever the solu-tion, it must be simple, flexible and have limited s
