支持网络化制造的车间资源集成与执行系统

Resource Integration and Execution System in Shop Floor Supporting Networked Manufacturing

提出一种对传统车间制造资源实施网络化改造与性能提升以支持网络化制造的系统集成框架及其实现方法。应用分布式人工智能中的多Agent技术和CORBA分布式对象技术与规范,对车间各种异构制造资源进行建模和封装设计,通过基于CORBA的开放式系统集成框架,将封装后的制造资源Agent以"即插即用"方式进行集成,制造资源Agent之间通过互操作方式进行协作,以实现制造过程管理与执行。最后,基于上述方法开发了一套支持网络化制造的车间制造资源集成与制造过程执行系统,该系统具有可集成性、开放性、智能性和可重构性等特点,不仅可实现车间内部制造资源的快速集成,同时还能支持网络化制造环境下车间资源的共享及制造过程管理与执行。

To support the networked manufacturing mode, a system integration architecture and its implementing methods for advancing and promoting the traditional manufacturing resources in shop floor are presented. Firstly, the multi-agent system (MAS) technology derived from distributed artificial intelligence, and the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) technology, are used to model and encapsulate manufacturing resources in shop floor in an unified manner. Then, the modeled member agents on behalf of corresponding manufacturing resource entities are integrated into the proposed system architecture based on CORBA in plug-and-play manner. Based on the system integration architecture, the manufacturing resource integration and the manufacturing execution system are developed to support networked manufacturing for virtual manufacturing organization.
