Abstract

The adaptability of modular production facilities is limited by their mostly fixed and non-modular supply and packaging logistics. This paper presents the application and extension of the Module Type Package (MTP) concept for the automation of Logistics Equipment Assemblies (LEAs). The focus is on the implementation of order-oriented Cyclic Execution Services and demand-oriented Single Execution Services. The article shows how LEA automation can be implemented using the MTP concept and discusses which current components of the MTP concept can be adopted, which must be reinterpreted, and which must be re-specified.
