Configuration Of An Autonomous Decentralized Sdigital Factory Using Product And Machine Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
The configuration of an autonomous decentralized manufacturing system using multi agent technology is proposed to get more flexibility. In this digital factory, all elements such as machine tool, assembly machine, AGV, and product are installed as agents. The product agents take the initiatives in the system. When a blank workpiece is put on the shop floor, the product agent is dynamically generated with the product model. The product agent can autonomously plan the manufacturing process and the allocation of machines for the production of the final product through negotiations with other product agents and machine agents. The trial implementation of product agents and machine tool agents has been done by structuring a virtual machining system.

Selecting an appropriate manufacturing machine is a very important and complex problem for firms, which usually have to deal with both qualitative and quantitative criteria. Taking into account the differences among machines in terms of cost, speed, quality and after sale services, type and number of machines are important parameters to consider. Therefore, the goal of thi...
متن کاملMachinery Control System using Autonomous Agents
Flexibility will be one of the key features in future manufacturing systems because the environments that surround manufacturing systems are rapidly changing from day to day. To satisfy this requirement, the hierarchical systems used in previous manufacturing systems are not enough because they cannot deal effectively with unexpected situations. Moreover, a lot of software modules have to be mo...
متن کاملDecentralized Robot-Cloud Architecture for an Autonomous Transportation System in a Smart Factory
The aim of this paper is to present a decentralized control architecture for an autonomous transportation system in the manufacturing facility of the future. Each component in the factory (machine, robot, operator...) is represented as an individual agent on the cloud and makes autonomous decisions based on the information exchanged with other agents. Production machines control their own mater...
متن کاملProduct and machine agents for an autonomous assembly production system
In this paper, product parts and machine agents are proposed for the configuration of an autonomous flexible assembly system. Product parts are divided into two types. One is the main part that is a base of the assembled product and the other is for sub parts that are installed on the main part. These parts and assembly machines are implemented as software agents in a virtual assembly productio...
متن کاملProduction effects by form changes of autonomous decentralized FMSs with mind
In autonomous decentralized FMS, the number of agents and constant installation position has been studied in previous studies. Therefore, in this study, we are considering to change the position of the warehouse and the number of AGVs to redesign the factory form and evaluate the changes in the production of autonomous decentralized FMS. By being inspired by human mind, we are proposing Minimum...
