“…Choi et al (2000) introduced a holonic control model of a multiagent shop floor control system (MASFCS), while a hierarchical model of the MASFCS was examined by Roy and Anciaux (2001). Chan and Zhang (2002) engaged Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) in the development of a MASFCS with a holonic architecture, while the alternative solution on distributed systems, Windows Distributed Internet Applications (Windows-DNA), was deployed by Unver and Anlagan (2002) in a heterarchical MASFCS. It has been found to be an effective tool for solving many uncertainty problems (Kwon et al 2007, Mele et al 2007).…”

“…In traditional multi-agent systems for PPC, negotiations often take place among supervisor agents (overall control of scheduling and production), part agents (control of a production batch or a single process) or resource agents (presentation of real shop floor resources), in either hierarchical or heterarchical infrastructures (Cavalieri et al 2000, Roy and Anciaux 2001, Najid et al 2002, Unver and Anlagan 2002. However, in the EOL environment, owing to the uncertainty inherent in its processes, the returned product -or material -is also critical in the processing, i.e.…”

Production Planning & Control

Ever-stricter environmental legislation over the past decade has led to the emergence of the end-of-life (EOL) industrial sector, e.g. remanufacturing of products, recycling of material and the recovery of energy. Due to uncertainties over returned product quantities, product quality and product diversity, production planning and control in EOL activities is quite different from those in the forward supply chain. In fact, those uncertainties can be diminished by enhancing the exploitation of the related information generated throughout the product lifecycle. Product lifecycle management provides an opportunity to access and share the distributed information generally available in the product lifecycle, while agent-based systems have been found to be effective tools in such large, uncertain environments. In this article, a product lifecycle information system that deploys agents is introduced into a typical EOL shop floor control system to provide lifecycle information for the returned product for decision-making. Supported by radio frequency identification technology, the product itself controls processes aggressively and autonomously in a system designed to minimise uncertainty. A case study of how the system supports shop floor planning and control in a plastics recycling plant is described at the end of the article.

The study aims to present architecture and technology solution for collaborative manufacturing execution system oriented to discrete manufacturing enterprises. Under the networked manufacturing environment, the enterprises are facing challenges including the increasing manufacturing process complexity, the shorter product delivery, the higher customer satisfaction requirements, and so on. To deal with these challenges, the manufacturing enterprises must implement information management, while collaborative manufacturing execution system is one of the key technologies to realize informationization. Thus, in this study, the authors analyze production characteristics, typical production flow, and collaborative management requirements of multi-workshop production in the discrete manufacturing enterprise and propose an architecture of collaborative manufacturing execution system oriented to discrete manufacturing enterprises. The main functions of this system and key technologies to realize the system is also analyzed. Finally, a prototype system is developed and a case study is executed in Henan Pingyuan Optics Electronics Co., LTD in OPTO-Electronic Group to demonstrate the implementation and potentials of the system.

This paper focuses on how basic CIM laboratory work can be enhanced through the use of Internet. In the typical CIM laboratory experiment students are asked to produce their NC-Codes for a given task. By the use of the web-site tools as discussed here, students' design their parts, produce NC-Codes, upload them to the FTP-Site and prepare necessary configuration for workorder dispatching. In the lab hour they are again asked to send the work order for the part and watch online status and statistics online. This method demonstrates a typical concurrent engineering approach in an automated manufacturing environment, from design to manufacture.
