Abstract: A production system for automated assembly of vehicle components, in particular for automated assembly of structural components of an aircraft or spacecraft.

Abstract: A manufacturing device network including a power supply line having supply connectors, at least one manufacturing device provided with a device supply line having a device connector for detachably connecting the manufacturing device with a supply connector. The requirement of power by the manufacturing device is monitored and each manufacturing device may be identified in the associated power supply network, independent from the producer or the design of the manufacturing device, is obtained by the supply connectors and/or said device connector being provided with a monitoring unit. A receiving unit is provided for receiving data from communication means. An identifying unit can transmit an identification signal identifying the manufacturing device to the receiving unit. Sensor means can monitor a parameter being related to the transfer of power through the device connector to the manufacturing device and to transmit a signal representing said parameter to the receiving unit.
