• Develop an autonomous product-based reconfigurable manufacturing system 

      Olavsbråten, Morten Monland (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-05-15)
      With the ever-emerging market including mass customization and product variety, reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) have been presented as the solution. A manufacturing system that combines the benefits of the two classic manufacturing systems to increase responsiveness and reduce production time and costs. To cope with the lack of physical systems, an RMS system have been built at UiT Narvik. ...
    • Towards smart layout design for a reconfigurable manufacturing system 

      Arnarson, Halldor; Yu, Hao; Olavsbråten, Morten Monland; Bremdal, Bernt Arild; Solvang, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-02)
      Global competition and increased variety in products have created challenges for manufacturing companies. One solution to handle the variety in production is to use reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS). These are modular systems where machines can be rearranged depending on what is being manufactured. However, implementing a rearrangeable system drastically increases complexity, among which ...
