A three-level knowledge-based system for the generation of live and safe Petri nets for manufacturing systems

New generation manufacturing systems are involved in a transformation process which aims for more reliable production processes and with a lower response time to the demand of the market. This work presents an application of artificial intelligence planning techniques for the automatic generation of the control program for a manufacturing system expressed as a safe and live Petri net. The advantage of the system presented here is straightforward: it allows for a fast generation of sound results free of human errors, reducing the cost and duration of the development phase of control programs. Keywords: intelligent manufacturing systems, artificial intelligence planning, sequential control programs, Petri nets. 1 Introduction New generation manufacturing systems are involved in a deep transformation process with the aim of obtaining more reliable manufacturing processes and with a greater response capability to the demands of a market in continuous change. The achievement of this goal ..
