Abstract:
This paper describes an approach to integrated manufacturing systems. It aims to integrate design and
development activities, as well as the entities existing in a manufacturing system. A model of manufacturing
systems is presented, including manufacturing entities with different roles and domains related to them. The
characteristics of the manufacturing entities are discussed, including changeability, service orientation, and
learning capabilities. One of the main enablers is a digital manufacturing system, which includes tools for
modeling, simulation and analysis, as well as digital information and knowledge. This is illustrated by an
example process, from product ideas to the efficient production of the products.
