Metric based modelling of flexibility properties of demonstration plants

Several research and development activities have been, are, and will be conducted towards the development of agile production systems. All of the will had, have, and will have their individual rationales, aims, and reached results. To enable comparability and a broader application of reached results means for representation of the application field of the research activity are required. As most research and development activities validate their results within a demonstration system one possibility for the representation is a detailed classification of the demonstration system towards agility capabilities of the demonstration system. A first idea of such a classification is given in this paper.     «
