Agent-Based Intelligent Manufacturing Systems: A State-of-the-Art Survey

Agent and multiagent systems are main research areas of distributed artificial intelligence. Recently the agent technology is considered as an important approach for modeling the distributed industrial systems, and the most natural method to design and implement distributed intelligent manufacturing environments as well as one of the most promising technologies to construct the next generation manufacturing systems. Agent-based manufacturing system is a concrete application of agent technology in the manufacturing. First, the agent and multiagent systems are briefly introduced. Then a state- ofthe-art survey for the applications of agent technology in the manufacturing enterprise integration, supply chain management, manufacturing planning, scheduling and control is presented. Finally, the research aspects and the key issues of agent-based manufacturing are discussed.
