COLORED PETRI NET USED TO MODEL FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING CELL

Abstract

This paper focused on the modeling of Flexible Manufacturing Cell (FMC) using colored Petri nets without time. Using colored Petri nets, it is possible to structure of manufacturing system organization, material and data flows, concurrency, and synchronization of the process and machining operation of the system. Model is constructing using CPN (colored Petri net) Tools to find the connection between the place, transition, and arcs of the system. For this model, we studied the FMC from the faculty of engineering Management and Technology, University of Oradea. Here we are processing two different parts: two parts for milling and two parts for turning in this FMC. Here we also discussed the modeling of the same system with two different FMC model and features of the system.
