It extends AutomationML (AML) developments for an engineering data exchange to integrate and standardize the data formats that support the design of RMAS.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The approach provides a set of systematic procedures and support tools for the design of RMAS. This includes enhanced domain knowledge models that facilitate the interpretation and integration of information across the design phases.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The inclusion of reusability aspects in the design phase improves the sustainability of future assembly systems, by ensuring equipment use until its end-of-life. Moreover, the integrated support tools reduce the design time, while improving the quality\/performance of the system design solution, as it enables the exploration of a larger solution space. This will result in a better response to dynamic and rapidly changing system requirements.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Social implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This work provides a sustainable approach for the design of modular assembly systems (MAS), which will ensure better resource utilization. Additionally, the standardization of the data and the support of low cost tools is expected to benefit industrial companies, particularly the small- and medium-sized enterprises.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This approach offers a service-based platform which uses production data to incorporate reusability aspects into the design process of modular assembly system. Moreover, it provides a framework for modular assembly system design by extending the current design processes and interactions between stakeholders. To support this, a standardized method for information representation and exchange across the several phases of the RMAS design activity is briefly illustrated with an industrial case study.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/aa-11-2017-154","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,12]],"date-time":"2019-06-12T09:16:57Z","timestamp":1560331017000},"page":"664-672","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Integrated design environment for reusable modular assembly systems"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Pedro","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Paul Danny","family":"Anandan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ivo","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Vikrant","family":"Hiwarkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Mohmed","family":"Sayed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Niels","family":"Lohse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Susana","family":"Aguiar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Gil","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Joana","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Fabian","family":"Bottinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2019100311560687500_ref001","first-page":"148","article-title":"Life-cycle approach to extend equipment re-use in flexible manufacturing","year":"2016"},{"key":"key2019100311560687500_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"422","DOI":"10.1016\/j.procir.2016.11.073","article-title":"Linear constraint programming for cost-optimized configuration of modular assembly systems","volume":"57","year":"2016","journal-title":"Procedia CIRP"},{"key":"key2019100311560687500_ref003","first-page":"1","article-title":"Whitepaper AutomationML part 1 \u2013 AutomationML architecture state: May 2012","author":"AutomationML e.
