Abstract

A problem emerging from CIM implementation is that of system deadlock. This short paper introduces deadlocking of manufacturing systems and describes some related work in the deadlocking of computer systems. A formal model for manufacturing systems deadlock detection is presented. Necessary and sufficient conditions for manufacturing system deadlock based on actual manufacturing system characteristics are defined along with a set of bounds for searching for deadlocks. An implementation approach is also presented.
