Petri Net Based Modeling and Control Strategies for Flexible Manufacturing Systems
A Abhishek, Manish Kumar, Devendra P. Garg · 2006
This paper presents comprehensive and unified strategies to model, analyze, and control flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) in an uncertain and dynamic environment using Petri Net (PN) based modeling. The proposed methodology enables PN models to accept and assimilate online data at execution time. A measurement system consisting of distributed sensory sources suitable for manufacturing processes is designed and an interface is developed of that system with the modeling software (SHARPE) and MATLAB's Simulink to enable realtime data acquisition and processing. The proposed strategies enable online parameter estimation to impart adaptive and intelligent learning capabilities to PN models.
