Abstract
This paper describes, models, analyzes and simulates an intelligent ma terials handling system with diagnostic intelligence capabilities usin g Extended Petri Nets (EPNs). The important modeled system properties of safeness, liveness and reversibility, which guarantee that the syst em operates in a stable, deadlock free and cyclic manner are verified and illustrated through the simulation results, obtained through an EP N based software package. A real system, the USL CIM system, modified to function as an intelligent materials handling system with on-line a daptation capabilities is used as a case study.
