Abstract:
Adaptability and reconfigurability of the production system are two key enablers to address global competition and a constantly evolving demand. Adaptive and smart manufacturing systems, realized by a variable number of heterogeneous production Smart Components with specialized capabilities, is one promising approach to guarantee a high degree of adaptability to ever changing demand. This paper presents a realization of a smart manufacturing system based on a multi-agent system approach, discusses its values and drawbacks, and presents possible improvements on the conceptual realization.
