Abstract

In this paper, we present a textual domain-specific language for production process modeling. The created domain-specific language enables easy and efficient creation of formal, machine-readable production process models, which are necessary for production in smart factories. For the described language, technical documentation generators were implemented. Generators enable automatic creation of required technical documen­tation, which reduces the time necessary for the creation process and increases quality and consistency of the documentation. Eclipse Modeling Framework was used to create the meta-model. Xtext was used to develop the concrete language syntax, while Xtend was used to implement documentation generators.
