TL;DR: A development approach for agent-based shop floor control systems is presented, that uses co-ordination concepts as observable in insect colonies to introduce better response to unanticipated disturbance situations and better handling of ‘reconfiguration’ in production environments.

TL;DR: The paper presents the HMS reference architecture for manufacturing control, and addresses the overall design problem, i.e. designing both the holonic control system and the underlying manufacturing system.
Abstract: This paper discusses the design of Holonic manufacturing systems (HMS), with emphasis on manufacturing control. First, it discusses the concept of a Holonic system. Second, it presents the HMS reference architecture for manufacturing control. Third, it addresses the overall design problem, i.e. designing both the holonic control system and the underlying manufacturing system. Finally, the paper addresses the design and development of the control software itself.

TL;DR: In this paper, a development approach for agent-based shop floor control systems is presented, that uses co-ordination concepts as observable in insect colonies, where agents operate within an information distribution environment, where information is made available in the form of artificial pheromones.

TL;DR: In this article, an architecture for reactive scheduling that enables concurrent scheduling and schedule execution is presented, where disturbances occur, the system reacts to them at several levels: an on-line shop floor control system reacts immediately, and the reactive scheduler responds more slowly, but with a higher response time.
Abstract: This paper presents an architecture for reactive scheduling that enables concurrent scheduling and schedule execution. When disturbances occur, the system reacts to them at several levels: an on-line shop floor control system reacts immediately, and the reactive scheduler responds more slowly, but with a higher response time. This approach enables a good combination of performance optimisation and reaction to disturbances. A Petri net models the cooperation strategy.

TL;DR: There are significant roots in general and in particular to the CIRP community – which point towards CPPS, and expectations towards research in and implementation of CPS and CPPS are outlined.
Abstract: One of the most significant advances in the development of computer science, information and communication technologies is represented by the cyber-physical systems (CPS). They are systems of collaborating computational entities which are in intensive connection with the surrounding physical world and its on-going processes, providing and using, at the same time, data-accessing and data-processing services available on the Internet. Cyber-physical production systems (CPPS), relying on the latest, and the foreseeable further developments of computer science, information and communication technologies on one hand, and of manufacturing science and technology, on the other, may lead to the 4th industrial revolution, frequently noted as Industrie 4.0. The paper underlines that there are significant roots in general – and in particular to the CIRP community – which point towards CPPS. Expectations towards research in and implementation of CPS and CPPS are outlined and some case studies are introduced. Related new R&D challenges are highlighted.
