An OOT-Supported Migration Approach to Holonic Robot Assembly Cell
Up to date, Holonic Manufacturing System(HMS),one of novel concepts to meet the increasinglyglobalization and customization of the manufacturingprocesses, has been conceptually constructed, andprototyping systems, Holonic FixturingStation(HOLOFIX), Holonic Autonomous GuidedVehicles(H-AGVs) etc. were developed with enhancedperformances in their specific processes. This paperpresented an Objected Oriented Technology (OOT)-supported migration approach to holonic robotassembly cell. Based on the analysis of activities in theflexible assembly cell, an architecture of workstationfor holonic robot assembly cell was proposed. Theholonic robot workstation was established byincorporating a control computer that performsproduction planning, shop floor control and localoperations into each of robot systems in the flexibleassembly cell, workstations of this kind functions as thebuilding blocks of holonic robot assembly cell. Theholonic robot assembly cell employs a dynamicholarchy evolution mechanism to carry out assemblytasks. The entire implementation was conducted on theFlexible Assembly System in PMA/Leuven.
