Industrial Case Study for Event-Driven System Modelled using Petri Nets.

The proposed modelling approach will allow a thorough understanding of the interactions between different phenomena, human interactions and environmental factors constituting the real behaviour of manufacturing systems. Important industrial systems such as Tobacco Unloading Process Unit (TUPU) have inter-related internal process activities coexisting with external events and require a real time formalism to model them. This modelling framework is based on identifying the critical resources. The modelling goal is achieved by identifying the key points from the evolution of process states. The paper discusses the function and implementation of proposed modelling method as applicable to the industrial case of TUPU. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
