Modelling and Simulation of Automated Welding Manufacturing System
1988System Analysis and simulation take place in a process acc. to Fig. 1. The starting point is the object to be modelled acc. to a GAD/CAM — problem. It is designated in Fig. 1 as a reality or an original with a given problem. The final result of the process is a usable computer model COMOD which is suitable for carrying out simulation experiments in ...

Fault detection and diagnosis of automated manufacturing systems
Proceedings of the 27th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 1988The authors develop a controller methodology for fault detection and diagnosis using Petri nets and fault trees in automated manufacturing systems. The controller has two levels. At the first level there are dedicated diagnostic systems for each of the subsystems, such as machine centers, robots, conveyers, etc.
