Coloured Petri net models for automated manufacturing systems

چکیده
In this paper, we propose an approach, using Coloured Petri Nets (CPN) for modelling flexible manufacturing systems. We illustrate our methodology for a Flexibte Manufacturing Cell (FMC) with three machines and three robots. We also consider the analysis of t h e FMC for deadlocks using the invariant analysis of CPNs.

Modelling and Analysis of an Integrated Automated Guided Vehicle System using Coloured Petri Net
vehicle system which is embedded in a multi-product, multi-line, multi-stage flexible manufacturing system. Three different guide path configurations have been developed for this study and the performance of the manufacturing system has been discussed from the perspective of these configurations. The system has been modeled through coloured Petri net method and some of the results are presented...
متن کاملA coloured Petri net model for automated storage and retrieval systems serviced by rail-guided vehicles: a control perspective
An Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) automatically stores incoming material and retrieves stored parts with no direct human handling. This paper proposes a modular and unified modelling framework for heterogeneous automated storage and retrieval systems, comprising rail guided vehicles and narrow aisle cranes. We employ coloured timed Petri nets, representing a concise and computat...
متن کاملA Coloured Timed Petri Net Model for Real Time Control of Agv Systems
Automated Guided Vehicle Systems (AGVSs) are material handling devices representing an efficient and flexible option for products management in Automated Manufacturing Systems. In AGVSs vehicles follow a guide-path while controlled by a computer that assigns route, tasks, velocity, etc. Moreover, the design of AGVSs has to take into account some management problems such as collisions and deadlo...

W u d As automated manufacturing systems become more complex, the need for an effective design tool to p d u c e both high level Discrete Event Control System (DECS) and low level implementation, becomes increasingly more important Petri nets represent the most effective method for both the design and implementation of DECSs. The conversion of such Petri nets into ml-time applications has mnt l...
متن کاملPerformance-based comparison of control policies for automated storage and retrieval systems modelled by coloured Petri nets
− The industrial manufacturing environment is nowadays characterized by fierce global competition, rapid market changes and short product life cycles. Such a complex scenario originated a vast demand for sophisticated techniques guaranteeing adequate planning and control of warehouses. A widely used solution is to adopt Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RSs). A typical AS/RS comprises...
