“…The main power of this language as a mathematical tool is its support for analysing the dynamic behaviour of a manufacturing alternative or scenario (Ahmad, Huang, and Wang 2011). Petri Nets have been already used for describing process plans (Cecil, Srihari, and Emerson 1992;Srihari and Emerson 1990), but this is useful for a given unique scenario to study. Moreover, the scheduling is not graphically visible.…”

International audienceThe aim of this paper is the study of methods for assembly representation supporting the level of automation (LoA) decision .process. Based on a literature review on the topic of LoA deciding, a need for involving the assembly sequence in the decision was identified. The representation methods used in both assembly modeling and planning and other more generic approaches in the literature were studied and evaluated. The evaluation has been based on a requirements definition describing how the representation should support the decision about automation. Identified gaps in requirement satisfaction from the existing approaches led to the definition of the Assembly Sequence Modeling Language (ASML), a new modeling language that combines principles from and improvements on the studied methods and a standard vocabulary of assembly actions. The modeling language was demonstrated in an assembly example and was successfully evaluated with regard to the defined requirements. Thus, this new modeling approach, ASML, is offered as an innovative and intuitive support in the decision making process for selecting automation levels in Assembly

“…So it provides a decision support tool [28] [29] [30] [31]. Additionally, PNs [22] [23] [24] [29] can model manufacturing systems at different levels of abstraction in a hierarchical manner identifying many strategic keys or control points [23]. Thus, PNs based models are used effectively to analyze control problems in real-time [23] [24].…”

In this paper, we propose astochastic Petri net model P-timed Workflow (WPTSPN) to specify, verify, and analyze a business process (BP) of a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). After formalizing the semantics of our model, we illustrate how to verifysome of its properties (reachability, safety, boundedness, liveness, correctness, alive tokens, and security) in the P-Timed context. Next, we validate the relevance of the proposed model with MATLAB simulation through a specific FMS case study. Finally, we use a generalized truncated density function to predict the duration of a token's sojourn (residence) in a timed place with respect to the sequence states of the global FMS workflow.

“…With the increasing complexity of real systems, multifarious mechanisms have been presented to implement the inference process: expert system [1][2][3][4], Bayesian network [5], neural fuzzy system [6][7][8][9][10][11], multi-class diagnostic technique [12], Petri net (PN) [13,14], fuzzy Petri net (FPN) [15][16][17], etc. Among these techniques, FPN inherits the graphical nature and mathematical foundation of PN and represents the fuzzy production rule (FPR) accurately.…”

Fuzzy Petri net (FPN) is a powerful tool to execute the fault diagnosis function for various industrial applications. One of the most popular approaches for fault diagnosis is to calculate the corresponding algebra forms which record flow information and three parameters of value of all places and transitions of the FPN model. However, with the rapid growth of the complexity of the real system, the scale of the corresponding FPN is also increased sharply. It indicates that the complexity of the fault diagnosis algorithm is also raised due to the increased scale of vectors and matrix. Focusing on this situation, a bidirectional adaptive fault diagnosis algorithm is presented in this article to reduce the complexity of the fault diagnosis process via removing irrelevant places and transitions of the large-scale FPN, followed by the correctness and algorithm complexity of the proposed approach that are also discussed in detail. A practical example is utilized to show the feasibility and efficacy of the proposed method. The results of the experiments illustrated that the proposed algorithm owns the ability to simplify the inference process and to reduce the algorithm complexity due to the removal of unnecessary places and transitions in the reasoning path of the appointed output place.
