    Abstract
  • This work studies the robust deadlock control of automated manufacturing systems with multiple unreliable resources. Our goal is to ensure the continuous production of the jobs that only require reliable resources. To reach this goal, we propose a new modified Banker’s algorithm (MBA) to ensure that all resources required by these jobs can be freed. Moreover, a Petri net based deadlock avoidance policy (DAP) is introduced to ensure that all jobs remaining in the system after executing the new MBA can complete their processing smoothly when their required unreliable resources are operational. The new MBA together with the DAP forms a new DAP that is robust to the failures of unreliable resources. Owing to the high permissiveness of the new MBA and the optimality of the DAP, it is tested to be more permissive than state-of-the-art control policies.

    • We study the robust deadlock control of AMSs where resources are workstations and unreliable resources may fail when they are working or idle for the first time.
    • A new MBA is proposed, which is proved to be more permissive than the existing version. The proposed MBA can be integrated with any DAP for S3PR, which eventually leads to improved performance of our control policy if a better DAP for S3PR is proposed.
    • The proposed robust DAP exhibits higher permissiveness than existing ones for systems with multiple unreliable resources and those with a single one.
