Manufacturing companies face numerous challenges in managing change, including addressing the climate crisis, introducing new and sustainable products, and adapting to fluctuating demand. As a result, a long-term approach to manufacturing system design is essential for developing systems to ensure that systems remain relevant and competitive across multiple product generations. Reconfigurable Man…

Traditional predictive maintenance approaches in assembly systems often overlook the complex interplay between operational modes and their distinct failure propagation mechanisms. This study contributes to predictive maintenance within the Industry 5.0 paradigm by introducing an unsupervised operational-mode learning and causal forecasting framework designed to jointly enhance operational reliabi…
