How Intelligent Manufacturing Holons Configure Themselves
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to customers' requirements for customized products that meet their unique needs, manufacturing companies have to be more agile with how their shopfloors are configured. One paradigm for ensuring such agility is that of Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS). In a HMS, artificially intelligent entities (called holons) act both autonomously and cooperatively to manage the shopfloor in a distributed fashion. This paper discusses the technical challenges and business issues associated with how holons configure themselves.

Existing modeling frameworks for manufacturing system control can be classified into hierarchical, heterarchical, and hybrid control frameworks. The main drawbacks of existing frameworks are discussed in this paper. A new hybrid modeling framework is also described. It is a hybrid of the two: hierarchical and heterarchical frameworks. In this proposed framework, entities (e.g., parts) and resou...
متن کاملThe ‘Right Brain’ Architecture of a Holonic Manufacturing System
The goal of holonic manufacturing systems is to attain in manufacturing the benefits that holonic organization provides to living organisms and societies, i.e., stability in the face of disturbances, adaptability and flexibility in the face of change, and efficient use of available resources. A key attribute of this kind of system is the ability to define the reasoning model for independent hol...
