Abstract

One method that can be used to improve a shop floor rate of production is multi-agent control. This method has been used to address machines’ breakdowns and to enable the system to perform a new set of actions by Including the human-resource agent, improving system flexibility and efficiency. However, most existing multi-agent control strategies do not specify how to integrate the human-resource agent. To address this research gap, this work presents and evaluates a framework for a cyber-human manufacturing system.
