نویسندگان
چکیده
Current and emerging manufacturing and logistics systems are posing new challenges and opportunities for the automation and control community. This milestone report describes the main problems, such as management of complexity, scalability, increasing costs, coordination, market-based resource allocation, and more. Recent accomplishments and trends are discussed: Control and automation techniques, manufacturing plant automation, collaborative control through integration and networking, and control methods applied to extended enterprises and large-scale critical infrastructure. Finally, forecasts are presented for the next generation manufacturing system; e-work; integration, coordination and collaboration; networked, distributed decision support (NDSS); and active middleware.

متن کاملLogistics Integrated Product Design under Concurrent Engineering Environment - A Case Study
Logistics, transportation and distribution engineering can be divided into internal or in-plant logistics and external manufacturing or distribution logistics. The Internal or in-plant logistics includes the material handling systems and storage systems and the external manufacturing or distribution logistics includes the transportation modes such as trains and trucks. Both must be integrated i...
متن کاملTowards agent-based multi-site scheduling
Scheduling problems are usually treated within single plant environments or within companies with several production locations. Due to the globalization of markets companies can no longer be regarded isolated from each other. They are in fact elements of spatially distributed production and logistics networks, where apart from the actual production process transport and stock keeping gain impor...
متن کاملCombining Multi–Agent Systems and Constraint Techniques in Production Logistics
The paper describes objectives and results of a research project conducted by Daimler–Benz AG. Intention of this project is decision support for a logistics division. In particular, the production flow control (PFC) in a factory has to be optimized by a decision support system. PFC is a sophisticated process influenced by complex factory structures and high dynamism of manufacturing processes. ...
