Petri net models are useful tools for the modelling of discrete event systems and hybrid systems. It may be used in order to analyse, to simulate and analyse its performances so as to to control it (command or diagnose). This paper is about the modelling, with the Petri net tool, of an assembly platform integrating Auto-Id systems in the objective is the simulation of the functioning of the platform. The objective is the simulation of the functionning of the system for two cases: two scenarios bring into play various industrial functions like assembly-desassembly, sorting, processing time. The first results highlight usefulness of the Petri Net tool in such a specific context where the impact of the RFID technology on the system performances has to be evaluated.
