However, Petri net model for practical systems can be very large, making it difficult to apply these models to real life problems. Modeling and Control Systems with Resource-Oriented Petri Nets introduced a new resource-oriented Petri net (ROPN) model developed by the authors. Not only succeeded in reducing the size of the model, but also offers improvements that facilitate the effective modeling, analysis, and control of automated manufacturing systems and reconfigure. Written in a clear and concise, the text includes an application for automated manufacturing systems and reconfigurable, automatic guided vehicles (AGV) systems, semiconductor manufacturing, and flexible assembly systems. Explains complex concepts in a way that is easily understood, the authors provide insight and tools needed for more effective modeling, analysis, performance evaluation, control, and scheduling of engineering process which will cause the system more flexible and efficient manufacturing.
