Optimal Stabilization Algorithm for Production Line Flow Parameters

Abstract

Context. A method for constructing an algorithm for stabilizing the interoperability of a production line is considered. The object of the study was a model of a multi-operational production line.Objective. The goal of the work is to develop a method for constructing an optimal algorithm for stabilizing the flow parameters of a production line, which provides asymptotic stability of the state of flow parameters for a given quality of the process.Method. A method for constructing an algorithm for stabilizing the level of interoperative backlogs of a multi-operational production line is proposed. The stabilization algorithm is based on a two-moment PDE-model of the production line, which made it possible to represent the production line in the form of a complex dynamic distributed system. This representation made it possible to define the stabilizing control in the form of a function that depends not only on time but also on the coordinates characterizing the location of technological equipment along the production line. The use of the method of Lyapunov functions made it possible to synthesize the optimal stabilizing control of the state of interoperation backlogs at technological operations of the production line, which ensures the asymptotic stability of the  given unperturbed state of the flow parameters of the production line at the lowest cost of technological resources spent on the formation of the control action. The requirement for the best quality of the transition process from a disturbed state to an unperturbed state is expressed by the quality integral, which depends both on the magnitude of the disturbances that have arisen and on the magnitude of the stabilizing controls aimed at eliminating these disturbances.Results. On the basis of the developed method for constructing an algorithm for stabilizing the state of flow parameters of a production line, an algorithm for stabilizing the value of interoperation backlogs at technological operations of a production line is synthesized.Conclusions. The use of the method of Lyapunov functions in the synthesis of optimal stabilizing control of the flow parameters of the production line makes it possible to provide asymptotic damping of the arising disturbances of the flow parameters with the least cost of technological resources spent on the formation of the control action. It is shown that in the problem of stabilizing the state of interoperative backlogs, the stabilizing value of the control is proportional to the value of the arising disturbance. The proportionality coefficient is determined through the coefficients of the quality integral and the Lyapunov function. The prospect of further research is the development of a method for constructing an algorithm for stabilizing the productivity of technological operations of a production line.
