The IEC 61499 (function block) standard proposes an open architecture for distributed industrial-process measurement and control systems (IPMCS). The IEC 61499 defines the basic concepts and methodology for the design of modular reusable distributable systems, and paves the way for the new reconfigurable and flexible manufacturing. This paper presents the development of a software tool (IEC 61499...
The paper addresses the problem of modelling a FMS with random recipes and controlling it with an agent-based architecture. One of the features of the system are the random recipes, i.e. recipes that are unknown a priori for the control system, which represent a high flexible-routing class of FMS. In particular, a PN model able to represent both the mechanism of generation of random recipes and then...
This paper presents a study of flexibility for the punching department in a commercial refrigerators manufacturing system. Three different technology solutions for the punching department are studied under different sets of production requirements: conventional press machines, CNC machines and laser machines solution. Analysis of changing the required production volume, as well as the introduction...
PABADIS'PROMISE (PABADIS based Product Oriented Manufacturing Systems for Re-Configurable Enterprises) is a new European research project aiming at the improvement of the flexibility of manufacturing systems by extending the applicability of distributed intelligence at all levels of control. This paper introduces the basis ideas of the concept and describes details of the technological and conceptual...
This paper describes an open loop control method of the solder joint process in a rework station for faulty printed circuit board (PCBs) containing electronic components in packages ball grid arrays (BGAs). In particular, a mathematical model describing the solder joint process is, first of all, obtained. Then, the desired thermal profile of the junctions BGA-PCB is determined according to the physical...
