Routing flexibility enables a robust, resilient design of production. However, in highly available, decentralized controlled production systems with cyclic material flow, it can reduce efficiency due to undesired deterministic-chaotic behavior. An automated method for measuring such behavior is presented. It is tested with a double conveyor belt laboratory system. An embedded system simplifies data acquisition. Results indicate that the method is usable for manual and automatic production systems. It has the potential to recognize modeling deficiencies in Industry 4.0 control with IEC 61499.
