Data-Driven Design of Distributed Monitoring and Optimization System for Manufacturing Systems

The intelligent manufacturing system is a complex, large-scale, interconnected system composed of many intelligent agents, and there may be physical or information space couplings between the agents. A distributed monitoring system and optimization control method are proposed to ensure the system completes its tasks safely and efficiently. The distributed monitoring system based on the average consensus algorithm is equivalent to the centralized design method, in which the submonitoring system only requires local and neighbor subsystem information. The advantage of this design is that it uses local and interactive information to achieve global diagnosis. In addition, sending data from all subsystems to a central computing node is challenging to implement in large-scale manufacturing systems. Based on the centralized plug-and-play (PnP) optimization control method, an average consensus algorithm distributed manufacturing system PnP optimization control method is proposed. Its advantage is that it uses local information and interactive information to achieve global control optimization. On this basis, an integrated architecture for distributed fault detection and optimization control is developed. The simulation results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of proposed method.
