hierarchical Control and Intelligent Scheduling of Flexible Manufacturing Cell

In this study, the control and scheduling of the flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) is discussed, which can perform the mixed production and relieve the effect of machine failure. The control of the FMC isvery complex task due to the property of multiple jobs and the dynamically changing states. For effective control of proposed FMC, the hierarchical scheme is introduced and the functions of each levels are defined. Especially for the control functions of shop floor level and cell level, the intelligent scheduler is implemented. To show the efficiency of the intelligent scheduler, the production method fo the existing assembly lines was evaluated and compared with the proposed intelligent FMC method. The results from the production performance show that the proposed method is superior to the existing method in various performance indices.
