“…There is, however, no standard, empirical methodology for how a company should apply RFID technology to IDCS, given the unique complexities of most manufacturing systems. It has been suggested that unwieldy documentation, and a lack of a communication between the user, the system designer, and the implementer, have been the major barriers to adopting new technology into existing systems [21]. Recognising that structural and behavioural modelling have been the primary means for requirement analysis and re-design of manufacturing systems, the authors believe that this is a good starting point for developing an RFID-enabled IDCS.…”

A modern manufacturing facility typically contains several distributed control systems, such as machining stations, assembly stations, and material handling and storage systems. Integrating Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology into these control systems provides a basis for monitoring and configuring their components in real-time. With the right structural modelling, it is then possible to evaluate designs and translate them into new operational applications almost immediately. This paper proposes an architecture for the structural modelling of an intelligent distributed control system for a manufacturing facility, by utilising RFID technology. Emphasis is placed on a requirements analysis of the manufacturing system, the design of RFID-enabled intelligent distributed control systems using Unified Modelling Language (UML) diagrams, and the use of efficient algorithms and tools for the implementation of these systems. OPSOMMING'n Moderne vervaardigingsaanleg bestaan gewoonlik uit verskeie verspreide beheerstelsels soos masjineringstasies, monteerstasies en materiaalhantering-en stoorstelsels. Deur Radio Frekwensie Identifikasie (RFID) tegnologie met hierdie beheerstelsels te integreer, verskaf 'n basis vir intydse monitor en instel van die beheerstelsels se komponente. Met die regte strukturele modelleringbenadering is dit moontlik om ontwerpe byna onmiddellik te evalueer en verwerk tot nuwe operasionele toepassings. Hierdie navorsing stel 'n argitektuur voor vir die strukturele modellering van 'n intelligente verspreide beheerstelsel vir 'n vervaardigingsaanleg deur middel van RFID tegnologie. Die klem word op 'n behoefteanalise van die vervaardigingstelsel, die ontwerp van die RFID intelligente verspreide beheerstelsels deur UML diagramme en die gebruik van effektiewe algoritmes en gereedskap vir die implementering van die stelsels, geplaas.

“…Previously, the attention of the researchers was focused on the parts identification and monitoring in flexible production, but it can be noticed that there are different approaches to the application of RFID technology. In the study [4], a methodology based on virtual reality for the presentation of the processing system is presented in order to help analyze the development of CIM (computer-integrated manufacturing). The global competition requires a more flexible and more reconfigurable production, especially in the plants where mechatronic systems are installed [5].…”

Improving flexibility, identifying parts and assigning process operations in flexible production are elements that can potentially influence the improvement in the management process. RFID technology has been widely applied in various areas of logistics, supply chain, storage, retail and transport. In flexible production systems, RFID technology is still in the developing phase. The process of applying RFID technology in a production system enables real-time information about the parts included in the system. This information can always be used to improve production efficiency and reduce costs. Also, the data of the production of components involved in the production, such as operations, both manipulative and productive, can be recorded on RFID tags, linked to the component by which the system is decentralized, and the production process gets more flexible and agile. This article deals with the designed architecture of the flexible production in FMC based on RFID technology and management system based on a set of agents. The findings presented in this study show that the shown framework is more capable than the most of the implemented ones in the current production practice, especially if the process is dynamic, unknown to the management, and has the requirements of reconfiguration.

“…Many researches have recommended the Virtual CIM (VCIM) paradigm as one of the most effective methodologies for today's globalization paradigm [14,20,27,28]. VCIM is known to be an evolvement of computer integrated manufacturing solutions which has been extended from the traditional CIM solutions to fulfil a global integrated manufacturing system beyond the traditional and localized boundaries [27][28][29]. Of applicable and challenging areas for CIM/VCIM systems, is known to be its architecture.…”

Nowadays, manufacturing environments are faced with globalization which urges new necessities for manufacturing systems. These necessities have been considered from different perspectives and Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is the most popular and effective one. However, considering rapid rate of manufacturing globalization, traditional and current CIM solutions can be criticized by major deficiencies like high complexity for resource allocation over the globe, global facility sharing, and absence of an efficient way to handle lifecycle issues. Recently, Virtual CIM (VCIM) has been introduced as an effective solution to extend the traditional CIM solutions. This paper has investigated recent researches in VCIM/CIM field considering the necessities of todays' globalized manufacturing environment. The paper shows the lack of traditional and current CIM/VCIM solutions; then, proposes an effective solution to cover them. Because of the complexities in designing such systems, the paper exploits Axiomatic Design (AD) Theory as a promising tools in this field. This theory is applied for validation of the suggested architectural solution and verification of the implementational aspects. The implementation of the architectural solution is considered based on ISO standards. Finally, the results have approved the feasibility of the suggested solution for manufacturing system and its Implementation aspects.
