Presentation Overview

HMS Project

Holonic Systems

Industrial Testbeds

HMS Phase 2


Basis of Holonic Systems

Arthur Koestler– The Ghost in the Machine, 1969– Modeling of biological and social systems

Holon– Greek word “holos” meaning whole– Suffix “on” denoting a particle – Similar to AGENTS but always cooperative– Self-contained unit capable of functioning

independently but dependent on other units

Holonic System– Open modular– Decision-making autonomy– Cooperation by message passing and negotiation

Autonomy

Cooperativeness

Free Agent

Slave Server

Benefits of HMS

Robustness to disturbancesHuman integrationAvailabilityFlexibilityScalabilityCoordination of distributed decisions– Different times, locations, contexts, people

Ideally suited for manufacturing and supply chain enterprises– Adaptive and distributed– Can add intelligence with soft computing technologies


HMS Objectives

Develop, market and support HMS compatibledevices, components, subsystems and support tools

Design, implement, deploy and support HMS in industrial applications

Increase the understanding, systematization, and acceptance of HMS concepts

Support the development of international standardswhich contribute to the achievement of HMS goals

Phase 2 Work Packages

Holonic Control Devices– technical manufacturing equipment level

Holonic Production Sites and Physical Equipment– manufacturing work cell level with multiple devices

Holonic Production Execution Systems– scheduling and control of Holonic Manufacturing Systems

at factory and supply chain levels

Holonic Man-Machine and Emulation Systems– virtual manufacturing and supply chain environment to

create test-beds for holonic system implementations


Conclusions

Began with an abstract concept of holonsPhase 1 – developed foundation for generic technologiesPhase 2 – demonstrating potential for distributed systems– Physical equipment– Manufacturing work cells– Factories– Supply chains

International acceptance of holonic system architectures– Cooperating with FIPA to develop standards

HMS provides– capability to integrate manufacturing and supply chains– offers migration path from legacy systems to fully

distributed manufacturing systems.
