A system architecture for holonic manufacturing planning and control (EtoPlan)
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present the system architecture of a flexible manufacturing planning and control system, named EtoPlan. The concept is based on the holonic control approach of building multiple and temporary hierarchies (holarchies). This paper describes the system architecture for flexible planning and control of activities and (groups of) Resources in a manufacture-to-order environment. The system architecture consists of generic control modules that can be applied on different hierarchical levels and for different kinds of manufacturing activities. The main function of the Resource Controller is the Determine Applicability function. r 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

Building holarchies for concurrent manufacturing planning and control in EtoPlan
The increasing versatility in order characteristics calls for planning and control systems that are able to evolve in time. Traditional hierarchical systems are usually based on a function-oriented static control structure in which all orders and products are handled similarly. Due to the dynamically changing characteristics of manufacturing environments these static control structures are not ...
متن کاملDevelopments in Holonic Production Planning and Control
The field of Holonic Manufacturing was initiated in the early 1990's to address the upcoming challenges for manufacturing operations in the 21 century. It is intended to support for highly responsive organisations by providing a modular building-block or "plug and play" capability for developing and operating a manufacturing production system in order to support a more responsive organisation. ...
متن کاملFrom System Requirements to Holonic Manufacturing System Analysis
Research on Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS) is undergoing a huge amount of interest and developments. In spite of the great amount of effort devoted to architectures and algorithms for holonic control of manufacturing systems there are little work about design methodologies. In this work we present a multi agent approach for analysis of HMS, it is based on an abstract agent definition and t...
متن کاملAn Agile and Adaptive Holonic Architecture for Manufacturing Control
In the last decades significant changes in the manufacturing environment have been noticed: moving from a local economy towards a global economy, with markets asking for products with high quality at lower costs, highly customised and with short life cycle. In this environment, the manufacturing enterprises, to avoid the risk to lose competitiveness, search to answer more closely to the custome...
