From System Requirements to Holonic Manufacturing System Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Research on Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS) is undergoing a huge amount of interest and developments. In spite of the great amount of effort devoted to architectures and algorithms for holonic control of manufacturing systems there are little work about design methodologies. In this work we present a multi agent approach for analysis of HMS, it is based on an abstract agent definition and the PROSA reference architecture for holonic systems. The analysis process to identify and specify holons is organized around five views of the system and integrates the advantages of proven multi agent methodologies to the manufacturing field. An industrial case example from the ceramic domain is presented to show the characteristics of the approach.

Information requirements analysis for holonic manufacturing systems in a virtual environment
The design and development of holonic manufacturing systems requires careful, and sometimes risky, decision making to ensure that they will successfully satisfy the demands of an ever-changing market. In this paper, the authors propose a methodology for a holonic manufacturing systems requirement analysis that is based on a virtual reality approach and aimed at assisting designers of such syste...
متن کاملRationales for Holonic Manufacturing Control
This paper is concerned with providing a clear business basis for the emerging research field of holonic manufacturing systems. The holonic approach is to develop highly flexible manufacturing operations from a set of readily reconfigurable building blocks, which are designed to integrate easily and collaborate dynamically with one another as production demand changes. The business basis is ass...
متن کاملA Holonic Manufacturing System implementation
Manufacturing systems must adapt to new challenges impacting the economy. New structures, behaviours and requirements arise in response to those challenges. These elements are systematised and different problem approaches are analysed. Multiagent concepts generally and holonic concept specially are studied. Based on its requirements and characteristics several frameworks are compared. Besides, ...

متن کاملDevelopments in Holonic Production Planning and Control
The field of Holonic Manufacturing was initiated in the early 1990's to address the upcoming challenges for manufacturing operations in the 21 century. It is intended to support for highly responsive organisations by providing a modular building-block or "plug and play" capability for developing and operating a manufacturing production system in order to support a more responsive organisation. ...
