Abstract: This paper presents a new type of Petri nets: batches Petri nets. This model, an extension of hybrid Petri nets, allows to integrate a formalization of part circulation on accumulation conveyors. The batches Petri net is defined with the introduction of a new kinds of places and transitions: the batch place and batch transition. Evolution rules are determined in order to do the simulation of systems based on accumulation phenomena.
Keywords: batches Petri nets, hybrid Petri nets.
