The rise of the fourth industrial revolution and the interest in autonomous production led to increased adoption of Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) in the industry. Due to the significant suitability of Multi-Agent Systems in building cyber-physical production systems compliant with the Reference Architectural Model Industry 4.0 (RAMI 4.0), more CPPS are being realized using Industrial Agents. Because of their complexity, guidelines for conducting virtual commissioning of agent-based CPPS are required. This paper proposes a novel framework for the virtual commissioning of agent-based CPPS. The framework contributions reside in incorporating both high-level and low-level control verification and validation (V&V) and employing two combined SIL and HIL approaches during the virtual commissioning of agent-based CPPS. The feasibility of the framework was demonstrated during the V&V of an agent-based CPPS on an industrial-scale laboratory robotized production cell. The framework had a significant impact on reducing the cost and efforts of the agent-based CPPS virtual commissioning.

The benefits of advancements in information and communication technologies have proliferated in manufacturing applications as more industries are migrating towards industry 4.0 compliance. The industry 4.0 process lines should be dynamic and reconfigurable. Digital twin (DT), supported by real‐time data, is getting wide acceptance as a tool for monitoring and control of complex processes. Virtual commissioning (VC) has played a vital role in the software‐based validation of the control systems. A DT‐based VC methodology is proposed to evaluate and validate a reconfigured process line. The proposed new asset is commissioned virtually in the DT environment maintaining other stations and parameters synchronised. The proposed methodology is validated in a modular production system assembly line. A storage and retrieval station is virtually commissioned by the hardware in loop technique in the assembly line DT with a station time error of 1.3% between the VC model and the actual assembly line data. The case study demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed methodology in assessing the impacts due to reconfiguration of a process line. The findings offer significant support to decision makers in taking informed decisions and to reduce unforeseen interruptions resulting from the integration of a new asset with the existing process line.
