A dynamic hybrid control architecture for sustainable manufacturing control

Manufacturing systems face the challenge of accomplishing the productive effectiveness and sustainable efficiency goals at operational level. For this, manufacturing control systems must incorporate a mechanism that balances the trade-off between effectiveness and efficiency in perturbed scenarios. This paper proposes a framework of a dynamic hybrid control that manages and balances the trade-off between effectiveness and efficiency objectives. Our proposal integrates this trade-off in three different locations: the predictive-offline scheduling component, the reactive-online control component, and the switching mechanism that changes dynamic architecture. To show the contribution of our approach and the progress of our research, a case study dealing with energy-aware manufacturing control is presented.
