In this paper, product parts and machine agents are proposed for the construction of an autonomous flexible assembly system. The main part's agent takes the initiative in this system. When a new main part is put on to the production line, the main part's agent is dynamically generated with the product model. The main part's agent plans the assembling process by itself and selects assembly machines that execute the assembly operations by communicating with assembly machine agents. The parts agents are deleted when a product is completed. The assembly machine agent has a machine model of itself and can determine which operations can be processed by the machine itself, The product model and machine model are described using XML. Trial implementation of main part agents, sub parts agents and assembly machine agents were done and assembly production simulation will be reported in this paper.
