Biological collective systems have been an important source of inspiration for the design production systems, due to their intrinsic characteristics. In this sense, several high level engineering principles distilled and proposed on a wide number reference system architectures systems. However, application bio-inspired concepts is often lost implementation choices or are simply used as heuristic approaches that solve specific hard optimization problems. This paper proposes architecture...

There has been an increasing interest from industry in distributed architectures since they promote a plug-and-produce and robust environment, where adaptability fault tolerance are native. Much research conducted this field mainly supported by multi-agent service oriented technologies. Nevertheless the retrieval visualization of information systems is relatively unexplored area. Although dynamic nature allows gathering prompt manner, doing so might affect performance mechatronic agents. In...

Modern machineries are often cyber-physical system-of-systems controlled by intelligent controllers for collaborative operations on the productions of complex products. To assure efficiency and effectiveness, a consolidation concerns across managerial levels, product lifecycle stages, lines or families becomes necessary. This calls common information infrastructure in terms ontology, models, methods tools. For industrial manufacturers subjected to increased cost pressure market volatility,...

Purpose Evolvable production systems enable fully reconfiguration capabilities on the shop floor through process‐oriented modularity and multi‐agent‐based distributed control. To be able to benefit architectural operational characteristics of evolvable systems, there is a need new planning approach which links operations. This paper seeks address these issues. Design/methodology/approach system has structured methodology in itself. Consistent this, reference architecture developed aiming...

Production planning and control strategies have been changing in line with the constant change on product customer requirements, under light of technological scientific advancements. systems which are based mass production became obsolete time hence companies, being profit oriented, need new solutions towards customization to handle rapidly market conditions. To deal this issue, be complementing each other. In paper Evolvable Systems its compatibility Just Time (JIT) compared Material...

Technological advancements in the information technology domain such as cloud computing, industrial internet of things (IIoT), machine to (M2M) communication, artificial intelligence (AI), etc. have started profoundly impact and challenge not only ISA95 compliant traditional (ISA95-CTS) but also smart manufacturing systems (SMMS). Our literature survey pinpoints that scalability, interoperability, security, data quality domains are among those where many challenges occur. Blockchain (BCT) is...

Sustainability is currently one of the biggest challenges and drivers manufacturing industry. With traditional automation approaches becoming evermore inadequate to support sustainable mass customized production, research focus moving towards agile systems that enact companies with ability quickly reconfigure their shop-floors by seamlessly deploying or removing modules. Such are envisioned as key for attaining a profitable industrial development. In this sense, paper attempts characterize...

The rise of global competition and the demands for mass customization observed in recent years are main shaping forces manufacturing domain. Current approaches to industrial production automation not suitable cope with resulting increasing requirement term system agility sustainability. While a quite large amount innovative sound technical solutions address such an issue, it is clear how new generation automatic will be economically connoted. This work proposes first step towards economical...

The variability in the market conditions is growing terms of its frequency change and range diversity. In response to this new industrial panorama, research on production systems aiming achieve truly reconfigurable shop floors. Frequent changes such require also frequent re-planning with updated information. regard Continuous Precise Workload Control method, a recent approach at precise control workload floor use direct load graphs. Supported by multi-agent platform, it generates dynamic...

The diversity of requirements and the frequency change in market can only be competed with dynamicity responsiveness both production planning systems. In this sense, working principles a novel workload control method, called continuous precise are presented paper. implementation method is based on multi-agent architecture. approach generates dynamic non periodic release decisions exploiting real time shop floor information. performance system correlation norm value against assessment range...
