Specification Methods for Material-Handling Control Algorithms in Flexible Manufacturing Systems
Good methods are needed to specify, test, and debug material-handling control logic. This article surveys a number of representative methods for defining and describing control algorithms for programmable materialhandling equipment used in flexible manufacturing systems. The methods are evaluated with regard to their suitability for communication between people and as bases for interfaces to au...
متن کاملIndicators for measuring performances of morphology and material handling systems in flexible manufacturing systems
The aim of this paper is to present some existing and several new indicators of performances useful to help the designer to "nd a good solution for morphology and choice of material handling systems in #exible manufacturing systems. Our purpose here is to focus on the evaluation of the pair morphology}material handling systems, studied concurrently due to their strong interdependence. As a resu...
متن کاملDesign Guidelines for Deadlock-Handling Strategies in Flexible Manufacturing Systems
Deadlock-free operation of flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) is an important goal of manufacturing systems control research. In this work, we develop the criteria that real-time FMS deadlock-handling strategies must satisfy. These criteria are based on a digraph representation of the FMS state space. Control policies for deadlock-free operation are characterized as partitioning cuts on this...
متن کاملReconfiguration Methods for Exception Handling in Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems
Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) offer capabilities for quick adjustment of production capacity and functionality in response to sudden changes in market conditions. Both at the system and at the cell level exception events occur dynamically and unpredictably during the production process. These exceptions interrupt the production process by causing errors in the schedule plan. Error/...
متن کاملAutomatic control-code generation from simulation for flexible material handling systems
This paper describes the design of a tool for rapid analysis and implementation of flexible material handling systems. The work incorporates a commercial discreteevent and 3-D animation simulation system and extends its functionality with respect to material handling systems. Logical clusters of commercial, modular conveyor components are defined and installed as additions to the simulator’s co...
