Abstract
This paper presents a modular concept to realize very
flexible and controllable robotized isles of automation.
It is a concept for production and manufacturing of short
series production. The concept is utilizing possibilities
of modern technology so that flexibility, adaptivity and
reactivity are remarkable increasing from the standard of
common automation solutions. Isles of automation will be
a kind of extended version from automated production
cell. Isles of automation include (mechanical and
electrical) hardware, software and communication
solutions. We describe requirements and solutions for
these components in this paper. Also we review some of
the current enabling technologies for short series
production and present architecture for software
components. Some of the presented technologies are based
on current or upcoming standards and are exploited in the
research work.
