Constantly changing business conditions require a high level of flexibility in business processes as well as an adaptive and fully interoperable IT infrastructure in today’s manufacturing environments. The lack of flexibility prevents manufacturing companies from improving their responsiveness and adapting their workflows to turbulent scenarios. In order to achieve highly flexible and adaptive ...

This paper focuses on studying and proposes deadlocks are an obstacle in the flexible manufacturing system (FMS) of Petri nets (PNs) since their occurrence will influence partial or whole model to stop working. Due its structural characteristic, net is essential tool overcome problem. The place invariant (PI) associated with control algorithm obtain maximally permissive by forbidding popular re...

Agent based distributed manufacturing control and scheduling systems are subsets of new manufacturing systems. Multi agent systems (MAS) not only drive design and engineering control solutions but also influence flexibility, agility, and re-configurability, which makes MASs a better centralized systems than its traditional counterparts. However, implementation of all MASs in the real factories ...
