Abstract
Many researchers are studying reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMSs) as highly efficient manufacturing systems that can effectively utilize production resources, even when large demand fluctuations occur. However, there have been relatively few studies focusing on machinery, which is an important component of realizing RMS in assembly manufacturing companies. In a previous study, we proposed a type of modular structured machinery (MSM) that can be applied to RMS for assembly applications. However, this proposal was limited to examination from a mechanical perspective. In this study, we propose a novel MSM concept that integrates mechanical and software aspects and demonstrate its applicability to RMS.
