Abstract. Small and medium sized businesses within mechanical manufacturing cannot benefit from Industry 4.0 automation as small production batches are unable to pay for up-front robotic configuration and programming costs. In this paper, we report on early results from a project aiming at developing a software architecture supporting fast, easy, and flexible reconfiguration of a robotic manufacturing process, using an agile and prototyping approach.
