Supervisory control of an automated disassembly workcell based on blocking topology

چکیده
An important aspect in recycling and reuse for environmentally conscious manufacturing is disassembly. Although disassembly systems contain the same basic elements as assembly system, the disassembly problem differs significantly from the assembly problem due to the fact that the incoming disassembly product is not controlled. In addition, complete dismantling of products is not necessarily required for disassembly whereas assembly builds a product completely. This paper describes a model for automated disassembly that accounts for work cell interaction and used product constraints. The model provides an essential means to determine, in realtime, the next component for disassembly using the knowledge of the product design and sensor feedback to minimize the steps to removing goal components. Sets of components for removal were resolved by minimizing set-up time for disassembling the component. Simulation results based on real product, vision sensor measure, and process input are presented and discussed. It is expected that the concepts demonstrated through this product can provide useful insights to other mechanical assembly.

he anticipated extensive use of flexible-manufacturing workT cells in the future has encouraged recent research efforts on the development of automatic supervisory-control methodologies. However, despite intensive research on the theoretical aspects of the control of manufacturing workcells, modeled as discrete-event systems (DES), a limited amount of research has been reported on the implement...
متن کاملModel-based Diagnostics for the Supervisory Control of Manufacturing Systems
Because of their nondeterministic nature of behaviour, the supervisory control of manufacturing systems must be carried out in closed loop. This trait greatly increases the size and complexity of the Discrete-Event System (DES)-based supervisorycontrollers of manufacturing systems. Attempting to cope with this complexity, a Hybrid Supervisory Controller (HSC), that distributes operations betwee...

متن کاملDistributed Supervisory Control of Discrete-Event Systems with Communication Delay
This paper identifies a property of delay-robustness in distributed supervisory control of discrete-event systems (DES) with communication delays. In previous work a distributed supervisory control problem has been investigated on the assumption that inter-agent communications take place with negligible delay. From an applications viewpoint it is desirable to relax this constraint and identify ...
