Abstract
Abstract Mcidern FMS are composed from standard system components (machine tools, AGV, robots, storage, tools,.) which are possible to buy on the world market. But the system components alone cannot guarantee the functionality of FMS. The efficiency of FMS directly depend on FMS hardware and software design and on the ideas which are implemented. To realize the most complex FMS with limited resources and a lot of bottelnecks it is necessary to design and implement sophisticated algorithms to build up FMS working-scenarios and to solve the conflict situation and control such a system. This paper describes one new concept/method of designing control structures for most complex modern FMS. The method is successfully implemented and verified in practice in one new Austrian factory as a part of CIM solution. The method is based on queue theory and priority structure.
