Virtual Commissioning-Based Development and Implementation of a Service-Oriented Holonic Control for Retrofit Manufacturing Systems

Abstract

While cyber-physical systems probably represent the future of industrial systems, their development might take some time to be extensively applied in industry. This paper presents the implementation of a service-oriented holonic control on a pre-existing system. The development of the control system is based on a virtual commissioning phase, developed with a Rockwell Arena simulation model.

Designing and modeling of self-organizing manufacturing system in a digital twin shop floor

“…Nowadays, new computing technologies and network modeling tools [11][12][13][14][15] have demonstrated tremendous potential in SOMS and specific self-organization theories in manufacturing.…”

Heterogeneous Communication Middleware for Digital Twin Based Cyber Manufacturing Systems

“…The problem statement issues from both literature review and practice from case studies. Figure 1 exhibits two examples of holonic based control implementation in manufacturing: case a) is related to the holonic control in tyre manufacturing industry and exhibits the connection with the virtual counterpart of the actual system [14], whereas case b) deals with the control of a flexible manufacturing system [10] with a Service-oriented Holonic Manufacturing System (SoHMS). In those architectures, we can spot that the main represented elements deals with the communications between the various elements.…”

“…Indeed, even if this is usually considered as a "technological" issue, communication is an essential stake for distributed software. [14,10] In such architectures, three classes of communication can be differentiated:…”

“…We illustrate the situation with the SOFAL production line implemented by Gamboa Quintanilla et al [10]. As drawn by Figure 5, the legacy application is composed of three different parts: two applications (HMI, SOHMS) and the manufacturing workshop (or a simulator).…”

Proposition of an Implementation Framework Enabling Benchmarking of Holonic Manufacturing Systems

“…The three studies exhibited in Fig. 6 have various purposes: case a) is related to the holonic control in tyre manufacturing industry [7], case b) deals with the control of a flexible manufacturing system [11], whereas case c) intends to validate the behaviour of a holonic controller of modular conveyor systems [12]. They were developed in parallel without interaction, but show several common features.…”
