Description
Summary:Industry 5.0 aims to integrate humans and machines to achieve greater productivity, personalization, and sustainable development in the production process. Built on the foundation of Industry 4.0 which emphasizes automation, digitalization, and intelligent production processes, Industry 5.0 highlights the importance of human resources in modern manufacturing. Robotic arms have replaced traditional manpower, particularly in flexible manufacturing systems. However, integrating advanced machinery into workflows has increased competition in terms of securing resources, resulting in frequent deadlocks. Various deadlock prevention policies have been proposed to address this issue. Despite these efforts, resolving system deadlocks while achieving the optimal number of reachable states remains challenging. Based on existing research, we have developed a novel deadlock recovery method applicable to various flexible manufacturing systems. We designed an adaptable system and a controller that can restore the system to its fully operational state.
