Future industrial systems can be realized using the cyber–physical systems (CPSs) that advocate the coexistence of cyber and physical counterparts in a network structure to perform the system’s functions in a collaborative manner. Multiagent systems share common ground with CPSs and can empower them with a multitude of capabilities in their efforts to achieve complexity management, decentralization, intelligence, modularity, flexibility, robustness, adaptation, and responsiveness. This work surveys and analyzes the current state of the industrial application of agent technology in CPSs, and provides a vision on the way agents can effectively enable emerging CPS challenges.

Smart Agents in Industrial Cyber–Physical Systems

Bottom-up approach based on Internet of Things for order fulfillment in a collaborative warehousing environment

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of long-term R&D activities of the Rockwell Automation (RA) company in the field of holonic and agent-based manufacturing control systems. It presents a coherent framework of methodologies for designing agent-based control systems, tools that support implementation and validation of them, and agent applications that were developed for various industrial systems. The common attribute is the integration of novel techniques, such as multiagent systems or semantics with the current “old-fashioned” automation architectures represented mainly by programmable logic controllers. Retaining the ability of the control system to meet the strict real-time constraints and concurrently raise its intelligence has always been of highest importance. The paper does not focus merely on RA's work, but discusses all its aspects in a context of other existing works in this area.

Industrial Agents explains how multi-agent systems improve collaborative networks to offer dynamic service changes, customization, improved quality and reliability, and flexible infrastructure. Learn how these platforms can offer distributed intelligent management and control functions with communication, cooperation and synchronization capabilities, and also provide for the behavior specifications of the smart components of the system. The book offers not only an introduction to industrial agents, but also clarifies and positions the vision, on-going efforts, example applications, assessment and roadmap applicable to multiple industries. This edited work is guided and co-authored by leaders of the IEEE Technical Committee on Industrial Agents who represent both academic and industry perspectives and share the latest research along with their hands-on experiences prototyping and deploying industrial agents in industrial scenarios.Learn how new scientific approaches and technologies aggregate resources such next generation intelligent systems, manual workplaces and information and material flow systemGain insight from experts presenting the latest academic and industry research on multi-agent systemsExplore multiple case studies and example applications showing industrial agents in a variety of scenariosUnderstand implementations across the enterprise, from low-level control systems to autonomous and collaborative management units

Classification of cyber-physical production systems applications: Proposition of an analysis framework

To manage the emerging problems of companies in today's economical surroundings a new thinking in control is required. On the level of field control a step to distributed systems based on distributed intelligence is the state of the art. But on the above levels of control, central and therefore inflexible systems are predominant. This leads to rigid control structures unable to react on system changes with respect to machinery and product programme in a fast and cost-saving way. The PABADIS approach aims in solving the mentioned problems by introduction of horizontal as well as vertical flexibility into the control structure. This flexibility is reached by using mobile and residential agents to establish distributed intelligence on the level of manufacturing execution systems and integration of distributed intelligence on the field control level.
