PRIMJENA MULTIAGENTSKE TEHNOLOGIJE I HETERARHIJSKE ARHITEKTURE U PLANIRANJU PROIZVODNJE

Kompleksnost proizvodnog okruženja, kao i složenost rješavanih zadataka unutar njega, kontinuirano i eksponencijalno raste. U mnogim industrijskim scenarijima tradicionalni centralizirani i hijerarhijski pristup nije adekvatan kada se primijeni za upravljanje složenim proizvodnim procesima, te može dovesti do neadekvatnog i sporog odaziva modeliranog sustava prema sustavima s visokim stupnjem kompleksnosti i praktičnih zahtjeva za robusnosti i rekonfigurabilnosti. Stoga smo u ovom radu primijenili moderne metode modeliranja kompleksnih proizvodnih sustava zasnovane na heterarhijskom modelu (biološki proizvodni sustavi – BMS), s primjenom multiagentske tehnologije za opis pojedinih komponenti sustava. Poslije definirane metodologije razvijen je simulacijski model fleksibilne obradne ćelije i simuliran je njezin rad u stvarnim proizvodnim uvjetima.
The complexity of the production environment and the sophistication of solved tasks from within the same, continuously and exponentially increases. In today’s industrial scenarios, the traditional centralized and hierarchical approach is not adequate for the control and scheduling of the complex production processes. This can lead to an inadequate and slow response of the system to systems with a high level of complexity and practical demands for robustness and reconfiguration. Due to that reason, in this paper we have introduced modern methods for the modelling of complex production systems that are based on the heterachical model (Biological Manufacturing Systems–BMS), with the implementation of multi-agent technology for description of some of the system entities. After this methodology has been defined, a simulation model of a flexible manufacturing cell was developed and its work was simulated in real production conditions.
