Implementation and validation of a holonic manufacturing control system

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Flexible manufacturing systems are complex, stochastic environments requiring the development of innovative, intelligent control architectures that support agility and re-configurability. ADACOR holonic control system addresses this challenge by introducing an adaptive production control approach supported by the presence of supervisor entities and the self-organization capabilities associated to each ADACOR holon. The validation of the concepts proposed by ADACOR control system requires their implementation and experimental testing, to analyze their correctness, applicability and merits. This paper describes the implementation of ADACOR concepts in a flexible manufacturing system, verifies their correctness and applicability, and evaluates the ADACOR control system performance, considering not only quantitative indicators directly related to production parameters, e.g. manufacturing lead time, but also qualitative indicators, such as the agility.
