Abstract

One of the goals of Industry 4.0 is to enable mass customization of products and to satisfy specific needs of customers. This goal is often hard to achieve in traditional manufacturing systems. To enable fast production changes, an automatic and flexible production is needed. In this context we propose a Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD) approach and a Domain-Specific Modeling Language (DSML) to model production processes. The language supports two levels of abstraction. A Master-Level (ML) model is used by a process designer to model process steps. A Detail-Level (DL) model is used by Orchestrator, a cluster of industrial computers that manages production, to fill existing ML models with a specification of production logistic and smart resources. A code generator is used to generate machine-readable or human-readable instructions from DL models. Generated code is used for automatic execution of production processes within a simulation or a shop floor. In this paper we provide an application of a DSML, which is capable of modeling production processes that are ready for automatic code generation.
