The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Making CNC machine tools more open, interoperable and intelligent - a review of the technologies (2006, background): “In the process of designing and operating interoperable and open manufacturing systems there is a need to distinguish from among system-level issues, component-level (i.e. machine and control) issues, and ramp-up time reduction issues [1] [2].”
Optimal selection of module instances for modular products in reconfigurable manufacturing systems (2003, background): “These new systems provide exactly the functionality that is needed, exactly when it is needed (Mehrabi et al. 2000).”
Graph theory-based approach to optimize single-product flow-line configurations of RMS (2009, background): “Reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) is a new paradigm that attempts to combine the high throughput of dedicated manufacturing lines with the flexibility of flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) and react to changes quickly and efficiently [1].”
Virtual Reality-Based Engineering Education to Enhance Manufacturing Sustainability in Industry 4.0 (2019, background): “The reconfiguration of machines, workstations, and/or production cells can be associated with addition of devices and capabilities, more axis motions and larger tool magazines [39,50,51].”
