Abstract
The high cost and long development cycle of shop floor controls (SFC) have prevented many small, medium, and even large-size manufacturers from deploying plant-wide, real-time information systems. In order to stay competitive in a make-to-order business model, such systems are essential. In addressing the obstacles to such systems, this article proposes a formal method that ensures that a built SFC can be applicable to a plant-wide, real- time information system. By taking advantage of both the linear growth of the complexity function in a structured adaptive supervisory control model, and the real-time responses of a virtual production line based e-Manufacturing system, a formal method for creating an integration-ready structured adaptive supervisory control model (iSASC) for a discrete manufacturing system is introduced. An iSASC-based SFC prototype system was successfully tested and evaluated in an industrial site.
