Resumo
This paper presents a step-by-step method to implement a Reconfigurable and Distributed Manufacturing Control System (RDMCS), which must allow the integration of value-added activities, information, resources and knowledge among heterogeneous business workflow of manufacturing subsystems in different geographical locations. These subsystems need to be aware of each other to attain the global objective of the system. Due the involved complexity, a modeling technique with well-defined formalism is used to ensure a systematic application of the design specifications and an effective degree of collaboration. Tools for edition, simulation and implementation should be considered to reduce involved costs and dispensed time. There is not a unique technique that allows develop a RDMCS that is, the proposed method is based on Petri net, holonic and multi-agent system and service-oriented architecture techniques, which have also associated software for generation quasi automatically of controller languages and for debug, deployment and simulation. Application example demonstrates the effectiveness of the resultant control system, such as in autonomy, flexibility, collaboration, reuse and robustness.
