Dynamic, Self-Organizing, Multi-Agent based Shop Floor Control
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, the application and the need for agent-based techniques to design manufacturing control systems is presented. The sensible agent architecture has been proposed to allow agents exhibit dynamic, adaptive autonomy. This allows for the creation of dynamic, self-organizing entities in the implementation. The application of the sensible agents to prototype a manufacturing scenario is presented.

Real Time Distributed Shop Floor Scheduling Using an Agent-Based Service-Oriented Architecture
This paper proposes a distributed manufacturing scheduling framework at the shop floor level. The shop floor is modeled as a collection of multiple workcells, each of which is modeled as a flexible manufacturing system. The framework consists of a distributed shop floor control structure, dynamic distributed scheduling algorithms, multi-agent system modeling of workcell, and service oriented in...
متن کاملA Service-Oriented Framework for Integration of Shop Floor Scheduling and Control
This paper presents an agent-based service-oriented framework to address the challenges for integrating real time shop floor scheduling and control in a multi-workcell environment. The proposed framework enables shop floor to adapt to the changes in the environment dynamically. Shop floor scheduling and control can address dynamic changes either within a workcell, such as machine breakdowns, or...
متن کاملA Penalty Function-Based Dynamic Hybrid Shop Floor Control System
To cope with dynamics and uncertainties, a novel penalty function-based hybrid, multi-agent shop floor control system is proposed in this dissertation. The key characteristic of the proposed system is the capability of adaptively distributing decisionmaking power across different levels of control agents in response to different levels of disturbance. The subordinate agent executes tasks based ...

متن کاملMulti-Agent Based Control Kernel for Flexible Automated Production System
An Intelligent Automated Robotic Assembly System consists of several subsystems capable of providing dynamic interactions with the environment in order to accomplish a task properly. These subsystems perform various functions like data gathering, decision making, and task execution. Although a great deal of work has been done on individual subsystems, more attention must be given to the way how...
