A Combined Continuous-Time / Discrete-Event Approach to Modelling and Simulation of Manufacturing Machines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using simulation models for the development and testing of control systems can have significant advantages over using real machines. This paper demonstrates the suitability of the language χ for machine modelling. The language integrates a small number of powerful orthogonal continuous-time and discrete-event concepts. The discrete-event part of χ is based on a CSP-like concurrent programming language; the continuous-time part is based on DAEs. Models are specified in a symbolic mathematical notation. A case study is presented of a transport system consisting of conveyor belts. The model of the system illustrates how the combined continuous-time/discrete-event approach simplifies accurate modelling of manufacturing machines.

متن کاملOptimal design of supply chain network under uncertainty environment using hybrid analytical and simulation modeling approach
Models that aim to optimize the design of supply chain networks have gained more interest in the supply chain literature. Mixed-integer linear programming and discrete-event simulation are widely used for such an optimization problem. We present a hybrid approach to support decisions for supply chain network design using a combination of analytical and discrete-event simulation models. The prop...
متن کاملRetrieval–travel-time model for free-fall-flow-rack automated storage and retrieval system
Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) are material handling systems that are frequently used in manufacturing and distribution centers. The modelling of the retrieval–travel time of an AS/RS (expected product delivery time) is practically important, because it allows us to evaluate and improve the system throughput. The free-fall-flow-rack AS/RS has emerged as a new technology for dr...
متن کاملTime Management Approach on a Discrete Event Manufacturing System Modeled by Petri Net
Discrete event system, Supervisory control, Petri Net, Constraint This paper presents a method to manage the time in a manufacturing system for obtaining an optimized model. The system in this paper is modeled by the timed Petri net and the optimization is performed based on the structural properties of Petri nets. In a system there are some states which are called forbidden states an...
