Manufacturing Management and Control System Based on Self-Management and Self-Scheduling
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: In this paper, we addressed the problems faced by flexible manufacturing system, which make the manufacturing process complex and difficult to scheduling, by the introduction of a Multi-Agent System (MAS) model. The internal structure of each agent was based on the Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) architecture to represent autonomic and coordinated scheduling mechanism and the ability to acquire information provided by exogenous sources. We built an evaluation system based on products’ preference about time and cost values to explore new assigning weights for the ranking of the candidate designs. In conclusion we provide ways to assemble manufacturing units into MAS while guaranteeing the internal real-time requirements of each agent.
