Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) should adapt to new products or product variants efciently and without extensive manual engineering effort. In comparison to rewriting the automation software for each adaption, manual engineering effort can be reduced by reusable software components with free parameters, which must be adjusted to individual production scenarios. This paper introduces CyberOpt Online, a novel online parameter estimation approach for reusable automation software components. In contrast to classic mathematical modeling approaches, such as Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP), our approach requires no predefned models that represent the system. Models, e.g. of the energy consumption of CPPS, are learned automatically from data observed during the operation of the production system. Therefore, the manual engineering effort is minimized as postulated by the paradigm of CPPS. The presented approach combines MINLP, process mining and black-box optimization techniques for calculating optimal timing parameter confgurations for automation software components with free parameters in the domain of discrete manufacturing.     «
