Abstract

We have developed the manufacturing agent-based emulation system as an open framework for design and analysis of discrete manufacturing systems. MABES currently supports the transition from traditional to lean manufacturing in two major functions: analysis of alternative agent-based scheduling and control approaches that can be implemented across the extended enterprise; and real-time collaboration of design teams during manufacturing line design and analysis stages. MABES bases its support for these functions on two system paradigms: distributed agents and synchronous collaboration
