A Petri Net Model for Part Sequencing and Robot Moves Sequence in A 2-Machine Robotic Cell

Abstract

This paper deals with part sequencing and optimal robot moves sequence in 2-machine robotic cells according to Petri net graph. We have assumed that the robotic cell is capable of producing same and different parts. We have considered a new motion cycle for robot moves sequence which is the development of existing motion cycles in 2-machine robotic cells. The main goal of this study is to minimize the cycle time by determining the optimal part sequencing and robot moves sequence in the robotic cell. So, we have proposed a model based on Petri network.
