“…The plant under study is the Sarda Acque Minerali (SAM) unit, a mineral water bottling plant located in southern Sardinia, at about 20 km from the city of Cagliari. The company production [6] achieves about 110 millions of bottles per year; several formats (0.25l, 0.5l, 1l, 1.5l, 2l) of bottles are produced, filled and finally sold, both with still mineral and sparkling water. Moreover four different mineral water brands are produced.…”

Abstract. In this paper we show how First-Order Hybrid Petri nets, an hybrid positive model that combines fluid and discrete event dynamics, may be efficiently used to simulate the dynamic concurrent activities of manufacturing systems. In particular we deal with the performance analysis via simulation of a mineral water bottling plant according to the variations of the production controlling input parameters. The model allows a simulation of the productive line behavior through changes in the production capacity of the producing bottles and PET prototype machines, of the filling machines, of the volume and type of the bottles, of the silos dimensions, and so on.

“…In Section 3 we focus our attention on a particular model of HPNs, called First-Order Hybrid Petri Nets (FOHPNs) because its continuous dynamics are piece-wise constant. FOHPNs were originally proposed in (Balduzzi et al, 2000) and have been efficiently used in many application domains, such as manufacturing systems (Balduzzi et al, 2001;Giua et al, 2005) and inventory control (Furcas et al, 2001). Interesting optimization problems have also been studied considering real applications, such as a bottling plant (Giua et al, 2005) and a cheese factory (Furcas et al 2001).…”

In this paper we use First-Order Hybrid Petri nets (FOHPN), an hybrid model that combines fluid and discrete event dynamics, to model the concurrent activities of manufacturing systems. In particular we consider an existing mineral water bottling plant and we show how the FOHPN model is extremely suited to describe the highthroughput production lines, that are one of the main components in the considered plant. Some variations with respect to the previous definition of the FOHPN model are also introduced here to better describe the behavior of the conveyor lines. Finally, we show that, thanks to the fluid approximation of some discrete-event dynamics, the considered plant may also be efficiently simulated using FOHPN. This also enabled us to identify, among the most commonly used configurations of the plant, which are the optimal working conditions in terms of maximal throughput and net profit.
