One Novel and Optimal Deadlock Recovery Policy for Flexible Manufacturing Systems Using Iterative Control Transitions Strategy

الملخص EN

This paper focuses on solving deadlock problems of flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) based on Petri nets theory.

Precisely, one novel control transition technology is developed to solve FMS deadlock problem.

This new proposed technology can not only identify the maximal saturated tokens of idle places in Petri net model (PNM) but also further reserve all original reachable markings whatever they are legal or illegal ones.

In other words, once the saturated number of tokens in idle places is identified, the maximal markings of system reachability graph can then be checked.

Two classical S3PR (the Systems of Simple Sequential Processes with Resources) examples are used to illustrate the proposed technology.

Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm of control transition technology seems to be the best one among all existing algorithms.
