Holonic and Agent-based Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Currently industrial automation systems are built using a hierarchical top-down approach, yielding tightly coupled and low flexibility systems. Holonic and intelligent agent-based industrial control systems have the potential to be much more highly robust and flexible systems with very loose coupling between subsystems. This paper explores Rockwell Automation’s current agent philosophy, application experience, and the obstacles to widespread adoption of agent technology in industrial automation systems.

Modeling Lateral Communication in Holonic Multi Agent Systems
Agents, in a multi agent system, communicate with each other through the process of exchanging messages which is called dialogue. Multi agent organization is generally used to optimize agents’ communications. Holonic organization demonstrates a self-similar recursive and hierarchical structure in which each holon may include some other holons. In a holonic system, lateral communication occurs b...
متن کاملMulti-agent Control of Holonic Manufacturing Systems Based on Petri Net
Holonic manufacturing systems requires a robust and effective mechanism to reorganize available resources to cope with uncertainties to achieve the production goal. This paper combines the contract net protocol and Petri net to adaptively synthesize Petri net to control holonic manufacturing systems. The main results include: (1)a multi-agent model for holonic manufacturing systems based on con...
متن کاملErlang-based control implementation for a holonic manufacturing cell
Holonic control is generally used in reconfigurable manufacturing systems since the modularity of holonic control holds the promise of easier reconfiguration, reduction in complexity and cost, along with increased maintainability and reliability. As an alternative to the commonly used agent-based approach, this paper presents an Erlang-based holon internal architecture and implementation method...
متن کاملOn the Team-Based Goal-Oriented Development for Holonic Manufacturing Systems
This contribution makes a reconsideration of the holonic organizational concept based on analogies with team formation and execution. It presents the team modelling concepts that support holonic structure and behaviour and the development of multi-agent framework based on the aggregation of agents in teams. Some drawbacks of the classical BDI reasoning mechanism and enhancement solutions are id...
متن کاملIntegration of Automation Resources in Holonic Manufacturing Applications
Holonic and agent-based paradigms are very suitable in the development of distributed manufacturing control systems, taking advantage of their modularity, decentralization, and ability to support dynamic and complex system design features. However, the integration of manufacturing resources within the holonic manufacturing control applications remains a problem, because no efficient standard al...
