Man-machine Material Handling System In AMS

This paper based on the man and machine system theory, aims at the bottleneck problem exit in the automatic manufacturing system-material handling system. The paper puts forward a new material delivering equipment-semi-automatic guided vehicle , which is used to replace the AGV(Automatic Rail Guided Vehicle) in AMS(Advanced Manufacturing System), to make up its defects, such as high cost, great technical difficulty, low reliability, and difficult to spread in our country etc.The paper brings forward a new technique of communication that is combining MailSlot with Windows Socket. It improves the communication reliability in FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System), which makes use of the broadcast and one-to-one function of MailSlot combined with the Windows Socket, achieves the purpose that one equipment failed would not result in an end of the whole system.The study result places man and machine in an optimized coordination relationship, this would point out a new way for FMS development.
