Abstract

This paper explains how the SOPRO project will exploit the potential of Process-eGrains to implement the principle of self-organization in the application field of industrial manufacturing. Products and manufacturing resources will be equipped with intelligent Process-eGrains which will deal with other partners in a manufacturing network, and through the principle of self-organization could influence the process sequences independently of the production control level. The project will include the development of Process-eGrains and methods of self-organization in manufacturing.
