Multiagent Management of Smart Internet Production

摘要

Recently the so-called Internet of Things (loT) is widely distributed, which means that every item, used by a person, is connected to the Internet, which opens remote control capabilities for these items. In addition, the items connected to the Internet can interact with each other, performing the common work assigned by a person without his or her participation. The loT can become the basic idea of creating unmanned robotic production (URP). Such production should include a wide range of Robotic Machining Center (RMC) that perform various technological processes. RMC control systems are combined by a communication system into a local network, which in turn can be connected to the Internet. The customer forms and sends on the Internet tasks for the production of his product with the help of RMC, included in the URP. On the basis of this task an automatic dispatcher of the URP should distribute operations between separate RMC, and also organize the transportation and delivery of required components and billets from stock and between RMC. The difficulty lies in the fact that the tasks can be numerous and can arrive at random moments of time. To solve this problem, an approach based on the multiagent interaction technology can be suggested. The purpose of research is the development of the method of organization and algorithms of the multiagent dispatcher URP. The authors develop a method of organizing a distributed multi-agent dispatcher and algorithms of the agents' functioning in the cloud of corporate computing resources when distributing technological operations between the RMCs.
