Autonomously controlled production systems—Influence of autonomous control level on logistic performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autonomous control intends to improve production systems performance by distributed and flexible coping of complexity. Different autonomous control levels and control strategies are evaluated. The evaluation system benchmarks the level of logistic target achievement related to the level of complexity and the level of autonomous control. Based on real production data, simulation models were built. The level of autonomous control in these models is increased stepwise by expanding the number of autonomously controlled elements. For each level of autonomous control, three control strategies are implemented and compared to the performance of conventional control.

Autonomously Controlled Processes – Characterisation of Complex Production Systems
Due to the increasing complexity of today’s logistic systems, new planning and control methods are necessary. Autonomously controlled processes are a possible solution to cope with these new requirements. In order to verify this thesis, the development of an evaluation system is necessary which measures the logistic objective achievement, the level of autonomous control and the level of complex...

The concept of autonomous control aims at improving the robustness and performance of logistic systems in a dynamical environment. In this context logistic objects are able to make and execute routing decisions autonomously. On the one hand this enables logistics systems to react promptly on dynamic changes and disturbances. On the other hand autonomous control causes an inherent dynamic system...

متن کاملModelling of Autonomously Controlled Logistic Processes in Production Systems
The increasing complexity in order processing of today’s logistics systems requires a reorganisation of existing planning and control systems, which do not allow a fast and flexible adaptation to changing environmental influences. Autonomously controlled logistics processes seem to be an appropriate approach to meet these new demands. In the context of this paper the changes in modelling of aut...
