Modeling framework
• ‘Holonic’ modeling framework– Holons make autonomous decisions– Higher level controllers– Guidelines and system wide constraints
• Material handling systems control

Intelligent Agents
• Intelligent agents representing– Entities and resources– Functioning cooperatively– Accomplishing individual, cell-wide and
system-wide goals

Highlights of new framework
• Considers interactions among entities operating at various levels
• Explicitly captures interactions of MHS with manufacturing system
• Uses optimization, learning & knowledge based approaches in problem solving
• Has built-in features for optimal system performance, stability and convergence

Industry Collaboration
• Efforts underway to:– apply modeling framework to industrial
problem– compare performance of the new methodology
to existing ones– develop novel control system for MHSs
