About
Ter-Chan Row has made influential contributions to the modeling and control of flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), with a particular focus on resolving deadlock issues that arise from resource competition among concurrent processes. His most-cited work, "Maximally permissive deadlock prevention policies for flexible manufacturing systems using control transition" (2018), has garnered 25 citations and addresses a critical challenge in automation: ensuring system safety without unnecessarily restricting productivity. Row’s research centers on developing mathematically rigorous policies that achieve maximal permissiveness—meaning they prevent deadlocks while allowing the greatest possible flexibility in job scheduling and resource allocation. This work is foundational for engineers designing robust, efficient manufacturing cells where robots and machines share tools and workstations. By integrating control theory with Petri net models, Row has advanced practical solutions for industry 4.0 environments, where adaptability and error-free operation are paramount. His achievements reflect a deep commitment to bridging theoretical control methods with real-world manufacturing constraints, making his research highly relevant for students and practitioners working on automated production systems, resource allocation algorithms, and supervisory control.
