Abstract
Current manufacturing systems are faced with a rapidly changing environment caused by customization, which leads to smaller lot sizes. The answer to this challenging situation are agile production systems, which are able to react to new tasks very quickly. One major aspect for realizing such systems is a flexible control architecture for orchestration of machine tending tasks. The aim of this paper is to compare different approaches currently developed and applied in research and industry, e.g. centralized cloud control or head control by a master device. For evaluation, suitable requirements are determined with respect to current limitations and implementation effort.
