This paper shows a Cyber-Physical-System based approach which allows the efficient utilization of the entire flexibility of reconfigurable, modular robot cells in assembly. Robots cells are automatically programmed, configured and optimized based on the solution independent virtual requirements of the individual product. A detailed virtual representation of the entire robot cell eliminates uncertainties regarding the feasibility of the assembly process in a defined robot cell during the design phase of the product with a CAD program. The necessary virtual representations of the robot cell components and the products to be manufactured are defined and the information interchange is explained.
