Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) were introduced as a new manufacturing concept for rapidly adjusting the production capacity and functionality of manufacturing systems. Hereby, the control of RMS requires realizing each desired configuration and changing between configurations on request, whereby a suitable design approach should scale to large-scale systems. In this thesis, we develop a controller design method for RMS that supports modular design and is scalable to RMS of large size. As the first step, we introduce the new notion of an attraction-preserving natural observer, which makes it possible to apply abstraction-based supervisor design for state attraction. Such supervisor is needed in order to move an RMS to a correct system state when performing a configuration change and starting up a new configuration. We further extend our method to the case of modular systems in order to ensure applicability to large-scale systems. Several examples demonstrate the applicability of our method.

Computation of supervisors for reconfigurable machine tools Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2012-01-01) The rapid reconfiguration of manufacturing systems is an important issue in today's manufacturing technology in order to adjust the production to varying product demands and types. In this paper, we study the control of reconfigurable machine tools (RMTs) with the aim of fast reconfiguration and an easy controller implementation. We first formulate a particular reconfiguration problem for RMTs in a discrete event system setting, and then provide necessary and sufficient conditions for its solution. Moreover...
Optimal configuration changes for reconfigurable manufacturing systems Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2013-01-01) Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMSs) are designed to quickly adapt to new products and production requirements. To this end, RMSs need to be able to perform fast changes between different configurations. This paper investigates the reconfiguration of RMSs in a supervisory control framework. Different from previous work, we formulate and solve a reconfiguration problem that allows to start a newly requested configuration before the previously active configuration has been completed. Our solution is op...
Order-Preserving Languages for the Supervisory Control of Automated Manufacturing Systems Nooruldeen, Anas; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-01-01) Automated manufacturing systems (AMSs) consist of computer-controlled interconnected manufacturing components (MCs) that are used to transport and process different product types. Each product type requires a certain sequence of processing steps in different MCs. Hereby, multiple product types can share processing steps on the same MC and the paths of different products types can overlap. In this paper we consider the modeling of AMSs in the scope of supervisory control for discrete event systems (DES). On ...

ENGINEERING EMOTIONAL DESIGN (ENGAGE) Hasdoğan, Gülay Fatma(2004-11-11) Today the bottleneck in introducing new successful products quickly to the market has moved from factory floor manufacturing to the product specification, design and evaluation process, although of course world-class manufacturing remains essential. 'Quality' has moved beyond functionality and usability to satisfying people's subjective and emotional lifestyle needs. This can only be achieved by breakthrough knowledge-based changes in the conception of products to maintain and increase EU competitiveness un...
