“…Then a technique must be developed that calculates when it is allowed to change SOP at different Coordinators, which is necessary when a new product enters the cell. Work on this is ongoing; see Andersson et al (2006). …”

Shortened product life-cycles decrease the output rate of manufacturing systems. Offline verification of the control systems promises to increase the output. However, to make offline verification possible some major improvements of the current development process of manufacturing systems are needed. Information handling and development of control programs based on information reuse are two of the most important improvement areas. This paper presents the results of the modeling of a real manufacturing cell according to a previously presented method for offline verification and program generation based on information reuse.

Lack of tools for analyzing the control of complex manufacturing cells is a problem which consequences are functional errors and in some cases a lower throughput than expected. A typical property of complex cells is processing of several products at the same time. This paper presents a model for automatic generation of control programs based on the output of a previously presented algorithm for calculation of the control of multi product cells.

Abstract-This paper presents a comparison between centralized approach and multi-model approach based on Supervisory Control Theory (SCT). The centralized approach uses both the whole process and specification to compute the controlled process. The multi-model approach, on the other hand, is used basing on various modal perspectives. This approach allows to build smaller models, which lead to smaller scale and better understanding of the latter. The comparison is made basing on a number of conditions, which all ensure the identical behavior between the controlled processes of each discussed approach. An example of a manufacturing system illustrating the comparison is also presented.
