RFID Synchronization for Ambient Services in PROSIS Holonic Control
Résumé
Product traceability is now an obligation in terms of observability and flexibility of manufacturing systems and logistics chains. RFID technologies are due to be more and more integrated into existing communication networks. New infotronic technologies will enlarge the capabilities to interact, to react and to customize control systems with innovative possibilities. New control approaches should be proposed based on the use of emerging technologies that would allow their operability in manufacturing sites. A model for ambient control production systems is proposed, based on a set of holonic entities interacting through set of entities that offer ambient services. After describing the PROSIS model, some of the ambient services that can be provided and the way these services could be provided are presented. Then, the impact of the proposed approach in terms of performance evaluation is studied.
