Abstract

Today, manufacturing systems face an increasing dynamic environment. This results in a need for adaptive control strategies. Autonomous Control enables logistic objects to render their own local decisions. The logistic performance of autonomous systems depends on a careful design of the system. Therefore, it is necessary to model and test autonomous processes before implementing them. The Autonomous Logistic Engineering Methodology is designed to develop autonomous processes. To enable testing and validating the models, the methodology is extended by a simulation component. This article presents a procedure, to transform the process models into executable simulation models. This procedure uses concepts and techniques of the Model Driven Architecture.
