Multi-scale modelling of manufacturing systems using ontologies and delta-lenses

The adoption of digital technologies in manufacturing enables intelligent dynamic control approaches, at the cost increased design complexity. In this paper, ontologies and delta-lenses are exploited to enable multi-scale models a system map different scales let data flow according level fidelity. A workflow is designed assess capability with lower details approximate behaviour original system, through application hybrid delta-lens. approach illustrated user case applied an industrial case, aiming deciding positions sensors assembly line.
