Design of a control system for a flexible manufacturing cell

The Design and Development of a Reconfigurable Manufacturing System

“…A number of hierarchical control systems have been developed for manufacturing systems and can be found in the literature. An ideal control system for the proposed RMS is similar to those presented by Costa and Garetti [24] and the database model of Lin and Fang [25]. A control system that meets the requirements of the job shop production of a flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) in their works, plus the additional requirement at the auxiliary buffer of the proposed RMS model shown in Figure 2, would be appropriate.…”

A proposed structure for distributed shopfloor control

“…Although there is still no single FMS definition, most agree that an FMS is an assemblage of automated machine groups (often called cells) interconnected via automated material handling and directed by an overall control architecture[11, 12,13]. While the concept of FMS has been well received in industry, the ability to build successful systems consistently remains elusive[14,15].…”

Production scheduling and operational control of flexible manufacturing systems

“…For this reason it is of fundamental importance for special CAPP (Computer Aided Process Planning) procedures to be available, simplifying the technologist's work, and for a technological data base to be set up -this is essential also in order to integrate the area of technological planning with that of production planning and operational control. 14…”
