Multi-agent based real-time production scheduling method for radio frequency identification enabled ubiquitous shopfloor environment

A two-level advanced production planning and scheduling model for RFID-enabled ubiquitous manufacturing

“…In this case, workers, machines, and materials are controlled real-timely for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of shop floor production. In order to evaluate the multi-agent approach in RFID-enabled manufacturing scheduling, a case was presented to demonstrate the re-scheduling strategy with real-time feedback [17]. Four types of agents are designed and evaluated in the case to examine the feasibility and practicality in real-life companies.…”

Real-time scheduling for hybrid flowshop in ubiquitous manufacturing environment

“…Paper by Kohn, Brayman, and Littleton (2005) is a piece of precious early work in addressing repair-control of manufacturing systems using real-time RFID information. Zhang, Huang, Sun, and Yang (2014) propose an overall architecture of multiagent based real-time production scheduling. This solution can close the loop of production planning and control based on real time data collection and real time decision.…”

Agent based modeling in factory planning and process control

“…In [14] the designed scheduling problem has ten tasks and ten machines by multi agent module are introduced in this paper. The system has the following capabilities:…”
