Modelling and Simulation of a Pheromone Based Shop Floor Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autonomous control means the decentralised coordination of intelligent logistic objects and the routing through a logistic system by the intelligent parts themselves. This paper shows the application of a pheromone based autonomous control method to a matrix model of a shop floor and compares the performance to an earlier developed method in different dynamic demand situations. The dicrete event simulations are analysed by comparing statistics on throughput time data resulting from the system’s behaviour in dynamic order arrival situations.

متن کاملModelling and Analysis of Autonomous Shop Floor Control
To manage the increasing dynamics inside and outside a production system, a decentralised and autonomous control of shop floor logistics is a promising approach. For developing and benchmarking such autonomous control methods, dynamic models are essential. The paper introduces the idea of autonomous logistic processes and presents a dynamic simulation model of a shop floor with both a conventio...
متن کاملAnt Colony Control for Autonomous Decentralized Shop Floor Routing
In this paper, we introduce a new approach to autonomous decentralized shop floor routing. Our system, which we call Ant Colony Control (AC2), applies the analogy of a colony of ants foraging for food to the problem of dynamic shop floor routing. In this system, artificial ants use only indirect communication to make all shop routing decisions by altering and reacting to their dynamically chang...
متن کاملInventory Control in Shop Floors, Production Networks and Supply Chains Using System Dynamics
The use of appropriate inventory control policies is a must in production systems. Production systems are characterised by structural and dynamic complexity. Material and information delays can occur, which may lead to inventory oscillations. In order to handle these dynamics, a system dynamics approach is used. It encompasses inventory control policies on the flow shop, the production network ...
متن کاملSimulation Based Shop Floor Control
This paper presents an overview of simulation-based shop floor control. Much of the work described herein is based on research conducted in the Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) Lab at The Pennsylvania State University, the Texas A&M Computer Aided Manufacturing Lab (TAMCAM), Technion in Israel, and the University of Arizona CIM lab over the past decade. In this approach, a discrete event...
