Abstract:
As the manufacturing mode focuses more on network and community， the orders and production processes are becoming highly dynamic and unpredictable. The traditional manufacturing system cannot handle those exceptional events such as rush orders and machine breakdowns. Nevertheless， the multiagent manufacturing system （MAMS） becomes a critical pattern to deal with these disturbances in a real-time way. However， due to the lack of universality， MAMS is difficult to be applied to industrial sites. A new multiagent architecture and the relay cooperation model based on a positive process relation matrix are proposed to address this paper’s issue. An optimized contract net protocol （CNP）-based negotiation mechanism is developed to improve the efficiency of collaboration in the proposed architecture. Finally， a case study of self-organizing internet of things （IoT） manufacturing system is used to test the feasibility and effectiveness of the method. It is shown that the proposed self-organizing IoT manufacturing mode outperforms the traditional manufacturing system in terms of makespan and critical machine workload balancing under disturbances through comparison.
