| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A recent transport control system for a production system needs abilities to treat complicated transport requirement and reconfigure the system due to demand fluctuation etc.
This research proposed a multi-agent based transport control system which can perform both an adaptive allocation of the processing machine for a product and a dynamic routing to the allocated machine. In the proposed method, each element of the system acts as an agent and uses a combination of two types of information to drive out products: path information obtained by communication with neighboring agents and pheromone information deposited on the tracks of products.
Reduction of energy consumption in a production process becomes more important as an estimation criterion. The research also extended the proposed method to an energy-aware transport control method.
