A multi-agent system for the production control of printed circuit boards using JaCaMo and Prometheus AEOlus

Abstract

This article presents a proposal for a multi-agent system for controlling the production of printed circuit boards in small series based on a new multi-agent approach. The multi-agent system was designed following the methodology Prometheus AEOlus and implemented using the framework JaCaMo. Unlike other multi-agent system used to control the production of printed circuit boards that are based on the agent-oriented paradigm, this system was completely designed and implemented using an integrated platform that follows the multi-agent oriented paradigm: the framework JaCaMo. So far this is the only implementation of this approach in the small series production.
