Multiscale Analysis of Reconfiguration for Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems

Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) show multiscale characteristics on the granularity of reconfiguration. In order to assist manufacturing enterprises to appropriately select a reconstruction scale, the performance of manufacturing system was transformed into signal, which was disposed to be quantitatively expressed. On the basis of the characteristics and structure principles, the multiscale characteristics of RMS were proposed. Then a multiscale intrinsic model was established. The daily capacity was chosen as the production performance signal. Fourier transformation was used to reveal and quantitatively state the relationship between the reconfiguration scale and system performance. The model was then validated by means of a case-study.
