MAS for manufacturing control: a layered case study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The usage of multi-agent systems for manufacturing control seems to be sharply contrasted by classical mathematical control theory. This work emphasizes how views from both scientific fields can be combined to create the flexible and optimal manufacturing control systems of tomorrow.

The Environment: An Essential Abstraction for Managing Complexity in MAS-Based Manufacturing Control
In the last ten years, we have been researching multi-agent systems for manufacturing control, and gained elaborate experience both in fundamental research as well as in practical case studies. Today, we reflect on our work and make two observations. The first observation is that MAS software for realworld manufacturing control is enormously complex in that numerous aspects, both conceptual and...
متن کاملBio-inspired multi-agent systems for reconfigurable manufacturing systems
The current market’s demand for customization and responsiveness is a major challenge for producing intelligent, adaptive manufacturing systems. The Multi-Agent System (MAS) paradigm offers an alternative way to design this kind of system based on decentralized control using distributed, autonomous agents, thus replacing the traditional centralized control approach. The MAS solutions provide mo...
متن کاملDesign, Fabrication and Measurement of Two-Layered Quadruple-Band Microwave Metamaterial Absorber
The design, simulation, fabrication, and measurement of two structures of metamaterial absorbers (MA) is investigated at microwave frequency in this paper. By stacking of one layer structure on the top of each other, a two-layered structure is generated. The unit cell at each layer consisting of two sets of various circular and square patches are designed so that the structure exhibit quad band...
متن کاملThe Role of Management Accounting Systems In Advanced Manufacturing Environment
The escalating complexity and competitiveness in the market place require firms to constantly review and modify their strategy and the way they operate in order to survive and sustain their market positions. For manufacturing firms, adoption of more advanced manufacturing techniques is necessary for these firms to remain competitive and achieve the desired performance. In this advanced environm...
متن کاملSearch-Based Testing of Multi-Agent Manufacturing Systems for Deadlocks Based on Models
Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) have been extensively used in the automation of manufacturing systems. However, similar to other distributed systems, autonomous agents’ interaction in the Automated Manufacturing Systems (AMS) can potentially lead to runtime behavioral failures including deadlocks. Deadlocks can cause major financial consequences by negatively affecting the production cost and time. A...
