Abstract: This paper presents a collaborative model-based development method for a manufacturing system and its control system. The method is aimed towards improving the traditional manufacturing and control systems development approaches that are often done independently and in sequence. First the interactions and dependencies in the multi-disciplinary development process are identified. Depending on the desired the level of abstraction, a system is modelled in a discipline neutral modelling language from which domain-specific models are automatically transformed to a language of a target modelling environment. These models are then used as a basis for further development by domain experts. As an illustrative case, SysML is used for modelling of a high level system concept of a manufacturing cell. The subsequent modelling, simulation and the associated verification, validation and control code generation steps are described.
