Agent-Based Systems for Manufacturing

The emerging paradigm of agent-based computation has revolutionized the building of intelligent and decentralized systems. The new technologies met well the requirements in all domains of manufacturing where problems of uncertainty and temporal dynamics, information sharing and distributed operation, or coordination and cooperation of autonomous entities had to be tackled. In the paper software agents and multi-agent systems are introduced and through a comprehensive survey, their potential manufacturing applications are outlined. Special emphasis is laid on methodological issues and deployed industrial systems. After discussing open issues and strategic research directions, we conclude that the evolution of agent technologies and manufacturing will probably proceed hand in hand. The former can receive real challenges from the latter, which, in turn, will have more and more benefits in applying agent technologies, presumably together with well-established or emerging approaches of other disciplines.

“…We need modern organizational models for small, flexible and scalable manufacturing units to fulfill actual requirements such as just in time delivery and individual customer needs or a sustainable supply chain [8]. Geographically independent or distributed production facilities composed of reconfigurable and mobile production systems allow quick adjustments of production capacity and functionality with respect to local customer needs and enable a sustainable production and supply chain [9].…”

Sustainability in Manufacturing through Distributed Manufacturing Systems (DMS)

A growing number of manufacturing companies are working on the implementation of sustainable manufacturing and business processes. The objective of sustainable manufacturing initiatives is the creation of products by means of energy-efficient and resource-saving manufacturing systems. Furthermore, customer satisfaction will be achieved in future not only through the creation of products, but also through socially and environmentally responsible as well as economically efficient concepts of manufacturing avoiding negative effects for society. Distributed manufacturing systems (DMS) are currently discussed in science as a possible approach for the realization of sustainable manufacturing. Decentralized networks of adaptable and flexible mini-factories are not only helpful to reduce emissions through reduction of transports, but also serve for the growth and development of regional economic cycles. This paper gives an overview of trends towards DMS as well as reasons and arguments why Distributed Manufacturing Systems are appropriate concepts for more sustainable manufacturing.

“…This paper seeks to fill this gap, the metrics the authors propose are anticipated to be valued at the machine level. The problem of negotiation at medium level process planning for an internationally distributed enterprise is solved by Bruccoleri and others [3]. They proposed a distributed decision making model for Reconfigurable Enterprises (RE) and Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems utilising MultiAgent Systems (MAS).…”

Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMSs) are designed to be changeable, adaptable, flexible and agile. A key matter in the functionality of these systems at the machine level is configuration. What are the critical aspects that need to be measured in configuring RMS? What degrees of measure will be representative of the reconfigurability of such systems when considering reconfiguration? This paper presents the metrics for fuzzy decisions to create optimal configurations of machine structures. This is done with respect to a given part geometry and the measure is to be mapped on to available machine configurations. A system of determining the membership function of constraint parameters is proposed. Using the fuzzy decisions for the configuration system, selection of optimal modular reconfigurable tool configurations is anticipated.
