“…Under the pressure of the above challenges, the transformations of manufacturing systems and organizations are already underway [29]. The need for novel organizational principles, structures and method has called forth various approaches [30] in the past decade, such as holonic [31] [32], fractal [33], random [34], biological [35], and multi-agent manufacturing systems [36], to name but those investigated by CIRP colleagues. All the above approaches are similar in that they assume network-like, dynamic, open and reconfigurable systems where decisions are made and production is carried out by more or less independent and cooperative partners.…”

“…Dynamic reconfigurability, which asserts itself again in the holonic concept, appeared first in [108] that suggested iterated bidding for selecting cells that complete a job. This approach was developed further into random manufacturing [34] where temporal coalitions of machines competed for incoming orders. Nowadays, negotiation based algorithms have been used almost without exception.…”

“…Nowadays, negotiation based algorithms have been used almost without exception. In this way, schedule generation is a recursive, iterative process with announce-bidaward cycles where market mechanisms [34] [102] [106] can be advantageously used. Order (or part) driven and resource (machine, cell) driven techniques may be distinguished, based on who makes the announcements.…”

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.

“…The concepts of the control paradigms, such as holonic manufacturing (Markus et al 1996), bionic manufacturing (Okino 1993), fractal companies (Sihn and Rist 1998), interactive manufacturing (Ueda et al 1998), and random manufacturing (Wata and Onosato 1994), are proposed for the next-generation manufacturing systems. Bussmann and Mcfarlane (1999) analyzed the rationales to apply the agent technology in manufacturing; it seems that agent-based technologies are feasible to implement these concepts because of their capability to deal with autonomy, distribution, scalability, and disturbance.…”

The production paradigms which apply these strategies are also classified. Particular emphasis is put on the paradigm of Reconfigurable Manufacturing System (RMS). Some key issues of the RMS design are discussed, and a critical review is presented concerning the developments of RMSs. Finally, suggestions of the RMS research are made and future research directions are identified. Reconfigurable Keywords: Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS),system architecture, system configuration, Open Architecture Control (OAC), reconfigurability, modularity IntroductionDue to excessive production capability and economic globalization, the manufacturing environment becomes turbulent and uncertain. Manufacturing enterprises are forced to reassess their production paradigms, so that a manufacturing system can be designed and operated efficient...

“…New architectures of the manufacturing systems are therefore proposed aiming at realizing more flexible control structures of the manufacturing systems which can cope with the dynamic changes in the volume and the variety of the products and also the unforeseen disruptions such as breakdown of equipment and interruption by high priority jobs (Okino, 1992), (Ueda, 1992), (Moriwaki, 1992), (Warnecke, 1993), (Iwata, 1994), (Wiendahl, 1994), (Sugimura, 1995), (Wyns, 1996), (Gou, 1997), (Bongaerts, 1997), (Arai, 1997).…”

The objeetive of the present research is to develop an holonie arehiteeture of manufacturing systems. A eoneept of the holonie strueture of manufaeturing systems are diseussed, and an objeet oriented modeling method is proposed to represent the data and the aetivities of the holonie eomponents of the manufaeturing systems, such as workpieees, workstations, maehine tools, AGVs and so on. Objeet oriented models are developed to represent simulation models of the holonie manufaeturing system for the meehanieal produets and one for the eomposite parts of the airerafts. Prototypes of the holonie real time seheduling systems are developed based on the simulation models, and ease studies are earried out.
