Deadlock avoidance in cellular manufacturing systems
Maria Pia Fanti, Bruno Maione, Biagio Turchiano · 2002
We develop control policies to avoid deadlocks in cellular manufacturing systems (CMSs). We take advantage of the structure of a CMS to develop a distributed control system in which each cell is controlled locally and independently. The controller of each cell is a local agent that adopts his own control law to improve flexibility and performance measures.
