Sažetak
The complexity of the production environment and the sophistication of solved tasks from within the same, continuously and exponentially increases. In today’s industrial scenarios, the traditional centralized and hierarchical approach is not adequate for the control and scheduling of the complex production processes. This can lead to an inadequate and slow response of the system to systems with a high level of complexity and practical demands for robustness and reconfiguration. Due to that reason, in this paper we have introduced modern methods for the modelling of complex production systems that are based on the heterachical model (Biological Manufacturing Systems–BMS), with the implementation of multi-agent technology for description of some of the system entities. After this methodology has been defined, a simulation model of a flexible manufacturing cell was developed and its work was simulated in real production conditions.
