Abstract

This paper describes the implementation of a modular, flexible and self-organized cyber-physical conveyor system build up with different individual modular and intelligent transfer modules. For this purpose, multi-agent systems (MAS) is used to distribute intelligence among transfer modules supporting plugability and modularity, complemented with self-organization capabilities to achieve a truly self-reconfigurable system.
