Implementing a multiple specification regulation controller: a case of study

This paper presents the implementation of a controller for an advanced manufacturing cell (MC) that uses a decision making machine to track several model specifications. It follows an incremental approach, where the individual controllers (which are designed for isolated specifications) are used to obtain the global controller. The global controller is the combination of all specifications working in concurrence. Such concurrence/combinatory approach leads to efficient algorithms and computation towards optimal performance of the global controller.
