- Integrating mechatronic thinking and multi-agent approachesPublication . Foehr, Matthias; Leitão, Paulo; Wagner, Thomas; Jäger, Tobias; Lüder, ArndtThe paper introduces a concept for the combination of mechatronic unit and multi-agent system approaches. It highlights how combining both approaches to a new kind of integrated system architecture may enforce the dissemination and reusability of methods and automatisms developed for one specific system architecture to other similar ones. Additionally it will show how this integrated architecture leads to a better exchange of Automation architectures in general. Thus, all systems compliant with the described architecture may benefit from methods and automatism applicable for a broad range of systems. The suitability of this integration approach is verified by using the example of a washing machine production line.
- Towards the integration of process and quality control using multi-agent technologyPublication . Castellini, Paolo; Cristalli, Cristina; Foehr, Matthias; Leitão, Paulo; Paone, Nicola; Schjolberg, Ingrid; Tjønnås, Johannes; Turrin, Claudio; Wagner, ThomasThe paper introduces a vision on the design of distributed manufacturing control systems using the multi-agent principles to enhance the integration of the production and quality control processes. It is highlighted how agent technology may enforce interaction of manufacturing execution system and distributed control system, enhancing the exploitation of the available information at the quality control and process control levels. A specific focus is made on a suitable engineering methodology for the design and realization of such concept. Innovation is also presented at the level of adaptive process control and self-optimizing quality control, with examples related to a home appliance production line.
