Mobile Agents for Factory Simulation

Mobile agents could be used to simulate a factory:

1. Machines in factory are agent driven.
2. Agents provide realistic data for a simulation, for example uptimes and efficiencies.
3. Simulation results are used to improve real performance or to plan better production lines.

• Realistic simulation is possible.
• Simulation could be automated.
• Self improving production lines come into reach.

• Requires agent interfaces for the machines.
• Requires a lot of additional research.
