A Novel Coordination and Control Approach for Manufacturing System

Abstract:

In order to handle dynamic and complex manufacturing environment, a novel coordination and control approachis proposed and applied to manufacturing control system in this paper. Using an implicit coordination approach, a novel coordination approach ,which is inspired by the hormone regulatory principle, can find efficient routing paths among the manufacturing resources automatically. With using the proposed implicit coordination approach, the manufacturing control system could reduce the amount of the control communication, and raise the sensitivity of the controller in the shop floor control system. Finally, a simulation experiment, using the proposed approach, is test. And the result confirms that the novel implicit coordination approach has excellent control performance in a static environment and good adaptability to disturbances in shop floor.
