Abstract

The paper describes a semi-heterarchical manufacturing control solution based on a private cloud infrastructure which collects data in real time from intelligent devices associated to shop-floor entities: resources and mobile devices embedding the work in process (WIP) on products during their execution cycle. The cloud platform acts as a centralized system scheduler (SS), planning jobs and allocating resources optimally at batch level, and integrates real-time data and status information from agentified shop floor devices. The cloud infrastructure is also used for storage of historic data, for manufacturing set up and control (configuring resource teams for production orders received, selecting the control strategy choice, dynamic rescheduling of order execution in case of resource failure or rush order occurrence) and for hosting the web interface for: remote cell monitoring, reception of client requests, cell configuration, raw material inventory and reports generation. Implementation and experimental results are reported.
