TL;DR: A combination of both approaches into an integrated concept are discussed, promising significantly increased flexibility and reconfigurability through ad-hoc code generation from models during deployment time.
Abstract: Modifications in product and system requirements as well as adaptations in lot sizes that cannot be foreseen in the initial planning period require rapid changes and, therefore, reconfigurable manufacturing systems. However, traditional automation technologies based on traditional procedural programming languages such as IEC 61131-3 often lack in flexibility. This paper presents two different approaches contributing to this field of research in order to enhance efficiency and flexibility in automation engineering, namely model-based engineering with automated code generation and dynamic orchestration of semantic web services. A combination of both approaches into an integrated concept are discussed, promising significantly increased flexibility and, by that, reconfigurability through ad-hoc code generation from models during deployment time.

TL;DR: Based on so-called engineering objects, this paper introduces the capability of single-click navigation between heterogeneous engineering tools taking into account the different views on common engineering concepts and results are that navigation increases the understanding and traceability of complex relations and thus enables the efficient diagnosis of deviations between models.
Abstract: Automation Systems Engineering projects typically depend on the collaboration of several engineering disciplines. While available software tools are supporting individual engineering disciplines quite well, there is very little work on tool collaboration and engineering process automation across discipline boundaries. Following a sequential process structure with distributed and parallel activities, an efficient integration of loosely linked heterogeneous engineering tool models for information retrieval or model consistency checking for quality assurance (QA) requires high human effort. Mechatronic objects provide a logical view on integrated data from mechanical, electrical, and software engineering but there is limited support of heterogeneous and dynamic engineering tool models. Based on so-called engineering objects this paper introduces the capability of single-click navigation between heterogeneous engineering tools taking into account the different views on common engineering concepts. The proposed approach is evaluated by using an example from the process automation domain. Major results are that navigation increases the understanding and traceability of complex relations and thus enables the efficient diagnosis of deviations between models.
