Research: Contribution to the maintenance of manufacturing systems with time constraints - milk packaging unit

Researchers at the National School of Engineering of Tunis studied and designed a maintenance module based on Petri nets (PNs) for manufacturing job-shops with time constraints.
To illustrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed maintenance approach, a milk packaging unit is depicted. The products (bottles of 1000 ml) are placed on the conveyor to supply the packaging machine, where they will be wrapped by welding in a group of 6. The finished products are deposited on the output conveyor towards the stock of finished products. An article about the research is published in the International Conference on Control, Engineering & Information Technology (CEIT’14) Proceedings.
