Abstract

Recently, the problem of robust control for automated manufacturing systems (AMSs) with unreliable resources receives increasing attentions. Almost all the existing related works are only concerned with the failure-prone AMSs in which each part stage utilizes only one unit of resources. While, in real-world AMS, it is often necessary to use multiple units of different resources to complete a part. This paper focuses on the robust control of such complex AMSs with a type of unreliable resources. General Petri nets are used to model all the behavior of such AMSs. By adding a control place to the Petri net models for each considered siphon, we develop robust deadlock controllers for the considered AMS. Such a robust controller ensures that the parts of all types can be processed continuously through any of its processing routes, even if one of the unreliable resources fails. Finally, some examples are used to illustrate the proposed method.
