Abstract: | An expert control system was designed to control an unmanned manufacturing cell in order to meet the operational requirements of a cellular Manufacturing System (CMS). In this paper, a knowledge-based three-layer control concept was used to build the cell control system. This cell control system is built to include workers' experience and problem handling ability. The cell control algorithms and heuristics are based on the pull system control principle. A Petri net is used to generate the cell control algorithm. The structure of the control system and the application of the Petri net method will be demonstrated. |
