To cope with the challenge of competitive market, manufacturing system needs to be agile in terms of its reconfigurability and scalability. For a system to be adapted to changed requirements, decision support tools such as configurator have to be provided. This paper introduces the basic framework of a configurator for assembly system Based on the factory data model(FDM) depicting the overall structure of a manufacturing system, functions of the configurator are described, i.e., requirements analysis, module selection and configuration optimization.
