| Summary: | "plugged-in" and implemented. The dispatching, plann' ing A control configuration is the sequence in which the algorithm can also be used to run different material and scheduling algorithms should be developed taking the and therefore, the material transport system layout must be attributes of the material transport system layout. The automated material transport systems. The material transport controller is designed to control material transport systems controller is thus flexible in nature and can be used to dedicated controller capable of accepting transportation different control configurations can be easily implemented. dispatching, planning or scheduling algorithm can be dispatching, route planning and scheduling functions are having automated material transport equipment, which have a implement different strategies for dispatching, planning and invoked by the MTC. The proposed material transport layout representation into consideration. Hence, the same manufacturing facility is to move raw materials, work-in- material transport controller (MTC) is flexible because any material transport controller is significantly reduced. material transport controller to control the MTS. A layout presents a framework for a flexible, real-time controller for process, finished parts, tools and supplies from one location representation schema is proposed for describing the represented so that the layout information can be used by the scheduling without having to rebuild the entire controller. tasks. The proposed MTC can be used to control different MTS The functions of a material transport system (MTS) in a Therefore, the development time and cost of creating a new to another in an efficient and timely manner. This thesis transport systems. Another feature of this MTC is that |
