Informational Space and Messages Interaction Models for Smart Factory Concept

摘要

Nowadays Smart Factory concept becomes a reality. We meet the greatest challenge of implementing autonomous manufacturing processes such as an organization of robots interaction in the framework of cyber-physical systems. This issue seems to be one of the most important, as it is considered as the basis of fully automated systems and provides mechanisms for self-organization and decentralized control. In this paper, we describe Informational Space and messages interaction models as the way for robots communication, considered under the Smart Factory environment. The main contributions of the work are the developed models and a software simulator of an adaptive production model, that responds to changing customer personalized needs. The performed case study showed that the developed software simulator, based on the presented theoretical models, can successfully imitate the autonomous production process.
