A Multiagent Based Control System Applied to an Educational Shop Floor
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the design and implementation of a multiagent based control architecture to support modular reconfigurable production systems. The requirements for plugability of modules (manufacturing components) and product changes were considered and tested against an educational platform based on fischertechnik, which resembles a production system composed of several workstations connected by a crane and conveyors.

Solving the flexible job shop problem by hybrid metaheuristics-based multiagent model
The flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is a generalization of the classical job shop scheduling problem that allows to process operations on one machine out of a set of alternative machines. The FJSP is an NP-hard problem consisting of two sub-problems, which are the assignment and the scheduling problems. In this paper, we propose how to solve the FJSP by hybrid metaheuristics-based c...
متن کاملShop Floor Production Community Design: Artificial Agents based Approach
We model automated shop floor production as a multiagent community. An artificial agent based approach has been developed to improve the design and control of such a community. The resulting community has two types of agents. The first is a cost simulation agent, and the second is an optimization agent whose learning mechanism is based on genetic algorithms. The output from the cost simulation ...
متن کاملComponent-based Development Framework of a Distributed Shop Floor Control System
The control and function architectures of a shop floor control system (SFCS) have been widely studied in academia. However, it is difficult to develop the system directly from such architectures, since their contexts and scopes are different in terms of applied shop floor and operating strategies. Therefore, an efficient development framework should be defined for every domain-specific shop flo...
متن کاملReal 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 کاملWise-ShopFloor: A Web-Based and Sensor-Driven e-Shop Floor*
Targeting the remote monitoring and control of shop floors, this paper proposes a new framework called Wise-ShopFloor (Webbased integrated sensor-driven e-ShopFloor) that can be applied to distributed manufacturing environments. It utilizes the latest Java technologies (Java 3D and Java Servlet) for system implementation. This Web-based framework allows users to monitor and control a distant sh...
