Smart properties of manufacturing units inevitably introduce novel network driven concurrency principles to manufacturing networks. Playing this game will unravel the full list of advantages of the network compared to the systems, especially under time pressure or facing frequent and major modifications. The actual value chain, an object passes, is only known ex-post. Specifically, designed checks and verifications, negotiations and dependability mechanisms will optimize operation units’ behavior and all communication links.
