Adaptive manufacturing is one of the most important objectives of the MANUFUTURE technology platform. To realize the vision of zero downtime, automation and control systems that react robust on system faults and changes by reconfiguration need improvements, mainly on the control and software level. A reconfigurable manufacturing system has the ability to easily and repeatedly change its structure by adding or removing hardware and/or software components in order to optimally adapt to fast changes in product requirements. This paper presents an adaptive and reconfigurable control framework which enables production systems to react more flexible on changes in the product demands. Concepts and requirements that will be needed for such a framework will be highlighted. Furthermore, a first approach for a control framework will be presented.
