Implementation and Validation of a Holonic Manufacturing Control System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Flexible manufacturing systems are complex, stochastic environments requiring the development of innovative, intelligent control architectures that support agility and re-configurability. ADACOR holonic control system addresses this challenge by introducing an adaptive production control approach supported by the presence of supervisor entities and the self-organization capabilities associated to each ADACOR holon. The validation of the concepts proposed by ADACOR control system requires their implementation and experimental testing, to analyze their correctness, applicability and merits. This paper describes the implementation of ADACOR concepts in a flexible manufacturing system, verifies their correctness and applicability, and evaluates the ADACOR control system performance, considering not only quantitative indicators directly related to production parameters, e.g. manufacturing lead time, but also qualitative indicators, such as the agility.

متن کاملA formal specification approach for holonic control systems: the ADACOR case
Distributed manufacturing control systems, like holonic control systems, are difficult to apprehend and to design, due to the presence of many autonomous, concurrent and asynchronous activities. A formal specification methodology allowing to understand and to synthesize the system specifications and to validate the correctness of their models would play a key role in its design and later in its...
