A new FMS architecture based upon networked DSP servo technology

This paper presents a critical evaluation of existing FMS architectures and the academic and industrial design and development strategies used during their formulation. The paper seeks to address the need for, and value of, existing architectures within the industrial arena. More importantly however, this paper puts forward a new two-tier distributed control architecture for FMS based upon new (real-time) networkable DSP servo control methodologies developed by one of the authors for Softronics in Australia. The ramifications of these methodologies are substantial, not only in terms of FMS control, but in the overall simplification of such systems and the development of flexible fixturing devices over the coming decade. This paper also postulates on how new FMS architectures can be developed from such technologies and details why such architectures could be more appropriate to industry needs than those that are currently in existence.     

A new method to cope with decision makers' uncertainty in the equipment selection process

One of the main problems faced while configuring or reconfiguring manufacturing systems is to rank alternative designs taking into account all the different aspects involved (both tangible and intangible). For this purpose the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a well-known decision making support method that addresses this problem. A major drawback of AHP is that uncertainty in the judgments of the decision makers and the resulting impact on the ranking is not considered. In real situations, however, judgments based on perceived future scenarios are almost always uncertain. To solve this problem in this paper we present the first complete probabilistic extension to the AHP method. The new method provides the decision maker not only with information on the ranking of the alternatives but also the probability that the ranking remains stable even in presence of uncertainty in the judgements. We verified the validity of the new method in a real application developed for the Ferrari racing team.

柔性制造系统的负荷分配及路径规划方法

柔性是柔性制造系统（ＦＭＳ）的一个基本优点，但这一基本优点却往往被人们忽视，许多现在运行的ＦＭＳ不是缺乏柔性，就是没能充分利用可获得的柔性来提高生产效率。柔性制造系统的负荷分配和路径规划问题正是这种柔性的一个主要方面，然而，路规划决策却往往被。其中一个主要原因人们仍不能从传统的生产管理概念中解放出来。本文在明确概念区分的基础上，提出了一种柔性制造系统的负荷分配和路径规划的线性规划模型，其主要特点是     

FMS的模型参考自适应调度

用运筹学研究生产线调度问题已有几十年的历史,但由此得出的调度策略的实时性很差.1986年自动控制工作者提出了“PMS动态自适应计算机调”一词.令人感到十分新奇.可惜.从未见到任何有关的论文.本文研究FMS的模型参考自适应调度.本文采用我们提出的考虑了有限缓冲器容量的极大代数模型.环境的影响反映于对象参数的摄动,本文采用我们提出的摄动计算方法.调度器的设计采用次梯度法,以求解连续变量和离散变量混合的优化问题,附有数字实例,计算和仿真表明:FMS的模型参考自适应调度是可行的,是值得继续深入研究的。
