The increased complexity of modern production systems requires sophisticated system control approaches to maintain high levels of flexibility. Furthermore, the request for customized production with the introduction of heterogeneous production resources, increases the diversity of manufacturing systems making their reconfiguration complex and time consuming.

In this paper, an end-to-end approach for reconfigurable cyber-physical production systems is discussed, enabled by container technologies. The presented approach enhances flexibility in a cyber-physical production system (CPPS) through the dynamic reconfiguration of the automation system and the production schedule, based on occurring events.

High-level management of manufacturing operations is performed on a centralized node while the data processing and execution control is handled at the network edge. Runtime events are generated at the edge and in smart connected devices via means of a variant of IEC61499 function blocks. Software containers manage the deployment and low-level orchestration of FBs at the edge devices. All aspects of the proposed solution have been implemented on a software framework and applied in a small scale CPPS coming from the automotive industry.

现代生产系统越来越复杂，需要复杂的系统控制方法来保持高度的灵活性。此外，通过引入异构生产资源来进行定制生产的需求增加了制造系统的多样性，从而使它们的重新配置变得复杂且耗时。

在本文中，讨论了通过容器技术实现的可重构网络物理生产系统的端到端方法。所提出的方法通过基于发生的事件对自动化系统和生产进度进行动态重新配置，增强了网络物理生产系统（CPPS）的灵活性。

制造操作的高级管理在集中式节点上执行，而数据处理和执行控制在网络边缘进行。运行时事件通过各种IEC61499功能块在边缘和智能连接的设备中生成。软件包管理边缘设备上FB的部署和低级编排。所提出解决方案的所有方面均已在软件框架上实施，并已应用于汽车行业的小型CPPS。
