KAPPS: A knowledge-based CPPS Architecture for the Circular Factory
While linear manufacturing relies on homogeneous materials and predefined process sequences, circular manufacturing reintroduces used products with heterogeneous and uncertain conditions. This shift demands manufacturing systems capable of handling variable product states, dynamically reconfigurable processes, and the integration of human and machine knowledge. Conventional manufacturing IT architectures, designed for stable structures and deterministic execution, are unable to meet these requirements, as they cannot adequately represent and manage the uniqueness of individual components at runtime. Following a design science methodology for developing a Cyber Physical Production System f...
