Description
Summary:Versatility and scalability are the major factors for meeting the requirements of a flexible production of the 21st century. A versatile production can only be realized if the machine control infrastructure is also versatile and scalable – current machine controls are not. Limitations in areas like e.g. reconfiguration ability, security and computational power demand for a radically new concept for machine controls. The approach presented in this paper is to split the physical location of the machine tool control from the machine tool itself. The approach moves the control in a cloud providing machine control as a service (MCaaS).
