Abstract

Nowadays complex control systems are rising, and especially hybrid control architectures which are developed to face manufacturing control challenges that occur with the last industrial revolution and the emerging of industry 4.0. This work presents an application, on a testing platform, of a scheduling algorithm with multi-criteria objectives developed for the Acta-Mobilier company facing high rework rate. This algorithm will inscribe itself in a hybrid control system based on smart entities. The main objective is to validate the contribution of the proposed algorithm in a disturbed environment. The platform, implemented with a multi-agent system, allows measuring the reliability of the proposed algorithm used for a complex system in the particular case of high rework rate.
