Intelligent manufacturing system;  Intelligent processing unit;  scheduling;  Neural networks

The structure of intelligent processing unit in intelligent manufacturing system is proposed, and a neural network model of intelligent processing unit scheduling is established, which is a scheduling method integrating flexible manufacturing system (FMS) parts processing scheduling and flexible assembly system (FAS) product assembly planning. Simulation results show that this scheduling method is highly flexible and intelligent. Since the intelligent processing unit is an important intelligent node of the intelligent manufacturing system (IMS), in-depth research on its important component, the intelligent scheduling system, can improve the intelligence level of the intelligent processing unit.
