Enhancing Dependabilities of Smart Units in Industry 4.0 Contexts: A Multiagent System Approach
Abstract
Dependabilities of smart manufacturing units’ interactions in cyber contexts may be multiplied by multiagent
system setups and their implementation into the manufacturing context. The adoption of revolving decision cycles in complex
networks with the specifications of the agents demonstrates advantages but has still number of limitations and restrictions to
overcome. The introduction of specific FMEA modes facilitates the specification and implementation of multiagent systems
under an open architecture. Failure mode components in the manufacturing context may lay the grounds for a fast learning
system.
