Fuzzy Control Approach to Reconfigurable Manufacturing System Involving Equipment Representation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The reconfigurable manufacturing system is a cost-effective system that can accommodate a variety of equipments required by customers. However, because of the surprisingly increasing volume and semantically fuzzy nature of the equipment information, one of the main difficulties to realize efficient equipment reconfiguration is the lack of effective equipment representation technologies and semantic description methods. In this paper, a fuzzy ontology model is proposed for storing semantic concepts in the reconfigurable manufacturing system. To discuss fuzzy inference mechanism has indicated that the fuzzy ontology-based method can promote productivity of the reconfigurable manufacturing system.
