In the dynamic environment of today's manufacturing industry, companies need to be changeable, i.e. capable of adapting to changes quickly and cost-effectively. In this context, the diagnosability characteristic, allowing fast and economic ramp-ups of new manufacturing settings, becomes particularly relevant. Depending on their diagnosability requirements, companies can exploit different technologies and applications. In this study, five diagnosability requirements have been identified. Through a literature review, the five requirements have been further investigated; thus, the extent to which these five requirements can be fulfilled, and their enabling technologies and applications has been specified. Finally, a case study has been conducted to show how diagnosability requirements are fulfilled differently in three manufacturing contexts. |
