Abstract
In the assembly process of high-mix low-volume production line, the control system must be inedible and robust to adapt to changes instate of manufacturing line such as switching product types, stopping for a short time, and out of stock of parts. In this paper, we propose a multi-agent based control system of the assembly process. In the proposed control system, a built-in controller in equipment autonomously performs functions of scheduling and load adjustment with the use of a multi-agent system. This system decides on actions in the manufacturing line depending on the BOM. In response to changes in production quantity and product type switching, the system automatically performs Load adjustment when equipment are added or changed. And we show mechanism of the multi-agent based control system to work with limited resources.
