Prototyping discrete part manufacturing systems
Information and Software Technology, 1989Abstract The paper presents a specification and prototyping language for manufacturing systems. The language is based on high-level Petri nets, is object oriented, is graphic with a textual part, and supports hierarchical decomposition: it is well suited for the description and simulation of complex, concurrent systems.

COMBINED SCHEDULING AND ROUTING IN DISCRETE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1990Abstract The paper considers the problems of real-time scheduling and routing in discrete manufacturing systems which are modelled as queueing networks with deterministic service times. The determination and the application of closed-loop scheduling/routing strategies based on real-time information referring to the whole queueing network are far ...

Virtual Manufacturing for Discrete Manufacturing Systems
2011The evolution of manufacturing practices since industrial revolution relates directly to the advancement in scientific methodologies and management principles. Some examples of the manifestations of these principles are: (1) Development of coal-fired furnaces for iron making; (2) Development of steam engines and steam-driven machines; (3) Development ...

A Taxonomy of Discrete Manufacturing Systems
Operations Research, 1991This paper proposes a classification scheme for discrete manufacturing systems. It also includes a brief discussion of modeling, analysis, and optimization techniques that have been applied to manufacturing. This taxonomy is intended to be a first step in fitting existing environments to models.

Design and manufacture of discrete components
Plastics, Rubber and Composites, 2005AbstractThe use of computers in product design and manufacturing today is accepted as normal working practice, the benefits are very clear, as the present study will show, but often the solutions available have a high degree of fragmentation, and are often described as being 'vertically fragmented'.

A web-based simulator for a discrete manufacturing system
IECON 2016 - 42nd Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, 2016Virtualization has become a supportive approach for simulating system behaviour efficiently thanks to the revolution of computer and smart devices. In fact, the employment of running virtual tools that mimic the real physical world is nowadays a requirement in some fields as in e.g. industrial automation. This research work presents a virtual tool that

A model for discrete product flows in manufacturing plants
Proceedings of the 2014 IEEE Emerging Technology and Factory Automation (ETFA), 2014Many tasks in factory automation can be solved with the bare knowledge of used and possible product flow paths in a plant. Unfortunately, the information about these is usually not available explicitly, but is distributed among different models and tools.

Models for simulation and discrete control of manufacturing systems
Proceedings. 1986 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 1986A methodology is presented for constructing models of manufacturing processes for simulation and design of the discrete control logic. The models represent the discrete event evolution of the system as well as features of the underlying continuous processes.

Simulation of Discrete Manufacturer with an End Product Feedback
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2013Abstract It is shown that for effective management of a discrete manufacturer with an end product feedback, the hierarchy strategy accompanied by the control of involved technological operations is to be applied. The mathematical tools are proposed and implemented in the simulation system that allows to determine the most effective schemes for a ...

An Approach for Interconnection and Unification of State Models in Discrete Manufacturing
2018 IEEE 16th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN), 2018The overall manufacturing process for a product can be composed of different phases and tasks. Each task can be seen having its own recipe or set of steps to follow and parameters to apply. The ways to represent these phases and tasks can be different depending on the level within the automation pyramid (shop floor / manufacturing execution ...
