Abstract

Petri nets can be viewed as a kind of language for specifying Markov models of a system, because of their highly visual nature that can give insight into the nature of the modeled system. In this paper, an aggregate approach by extended stochastic Petri net and Markov renewal process with some non-regeneration points is proposed to conduct performance analysis of an Ethernet-based flexible manufacturing system. The proposed approach may improve efficiency of performance analysis for most practical distributed network based manufacturing systems.
