A Systems Approach to Discrete Event Controller Design for Manufacturing Systems Control
Frank L. Lewis, H.-H. Huang, Salem Jagannathan · 1993
A modern systems theory point of view is offered for the design of sequencing controllers for discrete event manufacturing systems. The controller is an intelligent rule-based system with inner loops where no conflict resolution (CR) is required and outer loops where CR is needed. The CR approach ensures that the closed-loop system is decision-free. The most suitable CR strategy depends on the-performance desired from the system.
