To experiment with model-based design methods, scheduling solutions and other research we use a small scale manufacturing system in out lab the we named “xCPS”, a tool to eXplore Cyber-Physical Systems[1].
A photo of the setup is shown below.

The following shows the logical layout of the setup.

In addition to the physical setup, we have developed a virtual version as a digital twin, VxCPS
