Flexible Manufacturing Process Planning based on the Multi-agent Technology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Flexible manufacturing systems working in highly dynamic modern markets requires innovative concepts towards flexible management, production scheduling and planning. The agent-based technology provides a desired flexibility, supports a short reaction time and can underlie the required planning mechanismes. Moreover it does not require any centralized elements allowing a distributed implementation and essentially increasing a reliability of common system. A specific software architecture supports this flexibility and enables an adaptive reaction on disturbances often arising in production.
