As-j4 Real-time, Simulation-based Shop Floor Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a simulation control system developed by the Texas A&M Computer Aided Manufacturing Laboratory (TAMCAM). This control system is a research tool that TAMCAM uses to explore the advantages and disadvantages of on-line simulation for process control. The simulation can also be used in “look-ahead” mode to evaluate alternative control policies. The simulation is developed directly from a relational database. Processing times and fallout rates are estimated directly from data sources. The system is implemented in Arena, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Visual Basic, and Microsoft Visual C++.

A Service-Oriented Framework for Integration of Shop Floor Scheduling and Control
This paper presents an agent-based service-oriented framework to address the challenges for integrating real time shop floor scheduling and control in a multi-workcell environment. The proposed framework enables shop floor to adapt to the changes in the environment dynamically. Shop floor scheduling and control can address dynamic changes either within a workcell, such as machine breakdowns, or...
متن کاملReal Time Distributed Shop Floor Scheduling Using an Agent-Based Service-Oriented Architecture
This paper proposes a distributed manufacturing scheduling framework at the shop floor level. The shop floor is modeled as a collection of multiple workcells, each of which is modeled as a flexible manufacturing system. The framework consists of a distributed shop floor control structure, dynamic distributed scheduling algorithms, multi-agent system modeling of workcell, and service oriented in...
متن کاملA Highly Efficient and Optimised Simulation Based Multi objective Decision-Making for FMS Control
ptimized and efficient decision-making systems is the burning topic of research in modern manufacturing industry. The aforesaid statement is validated by the fact that the limitations of traditional decision-making system compresses the length and breadth of multi-objective decision-system application in FMS. The bright area of FMS with more complexity in control and reduced simpler configurati...
متن کاملDiscrete Event Simulation-based Real-time Shop Floor Control
To remain competitive in increasingly changeable markets, companies need to be reactive. They must often face unforeseen events, such as a cancellation or a modification of order, taking into account rush order, random interruptions of the production system, etc. This requires, in particular, a real time Production Activity Control (PAC) in order to deal with emerging critical events. We distin...
متن کاملReactive Scheduling System Implementations Using a Simulated Shop Floor
Developing approaches to integrating manufacturing applications is important for increasing manufacturing productivity. A reactive scheduling system architecture has been developed that defines how to integrate scheduling technology with manufacturing shop floor applications. Prototype implementations based on this architecture have been built using a simulation of a shop floor instead of a rea...
