Abstract
To achieve re-configurability, reusability and flexibility of manufacturing systems, this paper extends a method for re-configuration of control on machine level by the use of auto-identification technology. The scheduling-based control concepts of Functionality Based Control (FBC) and Scheduler, Selector and Synchronizer (S3) are extended for a setting with RFID-technology (for product identification). Using this combination product-driven control can be achieved. Each product brings its own processing schedule on an RFID tag read by a RFID reader at the machines. Using a drill station as example, the calculation of processing schedules for a machine depending on newly arriving products is illustrated.
