System Characteristics

The concept of flexible manufacturing system (FMS) has been purposed to improve flexibility and efficiency of manufacture system. Characteristics and operating mechanism of FMS is analyzed in this paper. Fuzziness and distributive of the Multi-agent system can meet the requirements of building FMS platform. On the basis of the theory mentioned above, this paper proposed an architecture model of FMS based on multi-agent technology. At last, the communication between the agents in the system was researched and designed. The introduction of multi-agent technology not only provides a feasible method of building FMS platform system, but also helps to lucubrate the architecture of FMS.

In this paper, we addressed the problems faced by flexible manufacturing system, which make the manufacturing process complex and difficult to scheduling, by the introduction of a Multi-Agent System (MAS) model. The internal structure of each agent was based on the Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) architecture to represent autonomic and coordinated scheduling mechanism and the ability to acquire information provided by exogenous sources. We built an evaluation system based on products’ preference about time and cost values to explore new assigning weights for the ranking of the candidate designs. In conclusion we provide ways to assemble manufacturing units into MAS while guaranteeing the internal real-time requirements of each agent.
