Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Currently, companies are forced to adapt to new production policies. For example, the creation and development of new means to create customized products with short production cycles and low cost, while maintaining the same levels of productivity and quality. This generated the need for manufacturing systems agile and flexible in order to accommodate the new production policies. The new paradigms of production, boosted by advances in information technology, IT, accept the concept of multi-agent systems and related technologies. The multi-agent systems seek to achieve the development of modules whose individual and collective functions adapt and evolve in order to ensure the suitability of production systems in the treatment of business opportunities volatile but profitable. With the rise of distributed and autonomous components interacting in project execution, traditional simulation tools will become insufficient. This paper presents the implementation of an architecture based in agents and oriented to interactions that implements the concept of simulation and serves as a support for introducing a new simulation tool that has the capability to interconnect with any transportation system able to manage all manufacturing line, and provide a statistical analysis of the system.
