A fault tolerant coloured Petri net resource allocation manager for manufacturing systems
T.C. Barros, Ângelo Perkusich, Jorge C. A. de Figueiredo · 2002
We introduce the architecture of an allocation and management system capable to deal with the complexity of flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). We show how to obtain the model of an FMS based on coloured Petri nets (CPN). This model is independent of a specific production trajectory (route), based on CPN. The introduction of fault tolerance in the model of such an allocation and management system is also discussed.
