Im Zuge von Industrie 4.0 werden Produktionsanlagen in der Fertigungsindustrie durch stark erhöhte Flexibilität und variierbare Topologie gekennzeichnet. Solche Systemeigenschaften kann man anhand von ereignisdiskreten Systemen (z.B. Automaten, Petri-Netzen) beschreiben. Auftretende Fehler in Aktuatoren, Sensoren oder Anlagenkomponenten führen zur Verringerung der Leistungsfähigkeit des Gesamtsystems. Mithilfe einer fehlertoleranten Regelung ist es möglich, das System wieder in einen funktionsfähigen Zustand zu versetzen und den Einfluss von Fehlern automatisch zu kompensieren. Es werden neue Methoden für die fehlertolerante Regelung ereignisdiskreter Systeme entwickelt, um die Verfügbarkeit der Produktionsanlagen zu erhöhen.
