TLDR
This paper proposes an SME-oriented design approach based on a configuration design paradigm that can offer decision support to designers to form flexible architecture for robotic manufacturing systems and, at the same time, give more interactive configuration freedom to customers so as to achieve a high productivity and flexibility for customisation but with less risk and cost of product development.About:

A digital twin to train deep reinforcement learning agent for smart manufacturing plants: Environment, interfaces and intelligence
Kaishu Xia,Christopher Sacco,Max Kirkpatrick,Clint Saidy,Lam Nguyen,Anil Kircaliali,Ramy Harik +6 more
TL;DR: The authors show that integrating a smart agent into the industrial platforms further expands the usage of the system-level digital twin, where intelligent control algorithms are trained and verified upfront before deployed to the physical world for implementation.

Flexible business strategies to enhance resilience in manufacturing supply chains: An empirical study
TL;DR: The correlations among the constructs based on survey-based research in electronics manufacturing firms, followed by a dimensionality reduction of constructs using factor analysis, demonstrate that the single items for measuring the flexibility of supply, process, product, and pricing strategies were evidenced to be strongly correlated.

The Ghost in the Machine
TL;DR: Koestler examines the notion that the parts of the human brain-structure which account for reason and emotion are not fully coordinated as discussed by the authors, which may explain the paranoia, violence, and insanity that are central parts of human history.

Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems
Yoram Koren,Uwe Heisel,F. Jovane,Toshimichi Moriwaki,Günter Pritschow,Galip Ulsoy,H. Van Brussel +6 more
TL;DR: In the 21st century, manufacturing companies must possess new types of manufacturing systems that are cost-effective and very responsive to all these market changes as mentioned in this paper, which are the cornerstones of this new manufacturing paradigm.

Classification of Flexible Manufacturing Systems
TL;DR: There has been some uncertainty concerning the conditions under which a manufacturing system may be termed 'flexible', so eight types of flexibilities are defined and described to clarify this confusion.
