Abstract

Modern Production systems are large, and the mathematical models of these become huge. Hence, the models become useless as they are challenging to analyze and perform model verification. Moreover, some of these production systems are inherently discrete (e.g., discrete production systems), while others can be discretized (e.g., Robotics). Petri nets are useful for modeling discrete production systems. But the resulting Petri nets suffer from huge size and infinite state space. To eliminate huge size, modular Petri nets are proposed. This paper looks into a modular Petri net and uses it to model a production system (focusing on automatically guided vehicles). The scope of this paper is to show the benefits of modularization, e.g., smaller modular components that can be independently developed and analyzed. Also, the modular Petri net is implemented in software GPenSIM. Hence, real-life and industrial production systems (such as car manufacturing, smart microgrids) can be modeled and analyzed.
