Abstract

In this paper, an approach for developing a new theoretical platform and pilot environment for rapid distributed product design in extended enterprises using collaborative, autonomous agents. The approach is based on exchange of requests and information between design, engineering and facility agents. The resulting decisions are based on design criteria which is then optimised by an intelligent adaptive design moderator which interact with the different agents to generate new solutions. This research aims to provide engineers with a generic prototype tool for collaborative design evaluation and rapid assessment of the manufacturing feasibility and resource availability at different stages of the product development in film coating product.
