“…This concept of 'edge computing' allows data to be processed closer to the 212 source, which is essential when data volumes are large [68]. The implementa-213 tion of distributed intelligence in smart systems is also enabled by the use of 214 Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) [27,69,70]. Each 'intelligent agent' -which is 215 an independent software entity that exhibits self-X behavior -represents the 216 capabilities and goals of manufacturing processing units [71], and the agents 217 collectively work towards achieving overall system goals.…”

Modern manufacturing has to cope with dynamic and changing circumstances. Market fluctuations, the effects caused by unpredictable material shortages, highly variable product demand, and worker availability all require system robustness, flexibility, and resilience. To adapt to these new requirements, manufacturers should consider investigating, investing in, and implementing system autonomy. Autonomy is being adopted in multiple industrial contexts, but divergences arise when formalising the concept of autonomous systems. To develop an implementation of autonomous manufacturing systems it is essential to specify what autonomy means, how autonomous manufacturing systems are different from other autonomous systems, and how autonomous manufacturing systems are identified and achieved through the main features and enabling technologies. With a comprehensive literature review, this paper provides a definition of autonomy in the manufacturing context, infers the features of autonomy from different engineering domains, and presents a five-level model of autonomy -- associated with maturity levels for the features -- to ensure the complete identification and evaluation of autonomous manufacturing systems. The paper also presents the evaluation of a real autonomous system that serves as a use-case and a validation of the model.
