Abstract

We present a concept for short-series production using industrial robots and advanced control systems and illustrate the operation in the pilot case. We call and define this system as ‘isles of automation’. The concept is beyond the current robot work cells by the properties of flexibility, reconfigurability, context awareness and programmability. In the concept, modules are defined for programming, sensing, material handling and flow as well as communication. The overall architecture defines how these modules work together.
