Reconfigurable Production Control Systems: beyond Adacor
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the recent evolution of production control systems, the emergence of decentralized systems capable of dealing with the rapid changes in the production environment better than the traditional centralized architectures has been one of the most significant developments. The agent-based and holonic paradigms symbolize this approach, and ADACOR holonic control architecture is a successful example of such a system. In this paper, authors discusses the current challenges and the way to go in the direction of new, reconfigurable, evolvable and ubiquitous systems, able to respond to current production environment demands and variability.

Implementation and Validation of a Holonic Manufacturing Control System
Flexible manufacturing systems are complex, stochastic environments requiring the development of innovative, intelligent control architectures that support agility and re-configurability. ADACOR holonic control system addresses this challenge by introducing an adaptive production control approach supported by the presence of supervisor entities and the self-organization capabilities associated ...

b E-mail: [email protected], Tel +27 21 808 4250 (corresponding author)Researchers in reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMSs) have generally used the agent-based control (ABC). Due to industry’s hesitance to adopt ABC, this paper evaluates the reconfigurability of a control system developed with industry accepted technologies, i.e. IEC 61131-3 programming languages, a Beckhoff embedded PC and B...
متن کاملDynamic self-organization in holonic multi-agent manufacturing systems: The ADACOR evolution
Nowadays, systems are becoming increasingly complex, mainly due to an exponential increase in the number of entities and their interconnections. Examples of these complex systems can be found in manufacturing, smart-grids, traffic control, logistics, economics and biology, among others. Due to this complexity, particularly in manufacturing, a lack of responsiveness in coping with demand for hig...
متن کاملA formal specification approach for holonic control systems: the ADACOR case
Distributed manufacturing control systems, like holonic control systems, are difficult to apprehend and to design, due to the presence of many autonomous, concurrent and asynchronous activities. A formal specification methodology allowing to understand and to synthesize the system specifications and to validate the correctness of their models would play a key role in its design and later in its...
