Summary
Agent technology represents a novel paradigm for developing distributed intelligent manufacturing and industrial automation systems. During the past three decades, a significant number of researchers and practitioners have been trying to apply intelligent software agents in the areas of engineering design, collaborative intelligent manufacturing, supply chain management, and smart product services. Recent developments and fast advancements of Cloud/Fog/Edge Computing, Industrial Internet, Cyber-Physical Systems, Digital Twins, Big Data, and Blockchains provide new opportunities for the application of intelligent software agents in intelligent manufacturing and industrial automation, but also bring a lot of new research challenges. This talk presents some first-hand experience in developing agent-based collaborative design and manufacturing technologies and systems, and discusses future trends, R&D opportunities and challenges.
