Supervising and controlling network for dyeing process based on multi-Agent

Aiming at the diversified and spread dyeing and printing machines and supervising and controlling systems brought about by scaling-up of production in dyeing enterprises,a new type of dyeing process supervising and controlling system(SC) based on multi-Agent technology is proposed.The heterogeneous dyeing machines and software systems are interconnected through fieldbus under the framework of hierarchy structure and their functions of heterogeneous networks integration is implemented by the multi-Agent technology.Furthermore,the model and framework of multi-Agents of different layers are discussed.This multi-Agentbased system can be integrated with different ERP systems,process management systems and dyeing control systems,thus realizing the integration of enterprise management and control function,and quick change manufacturing(QCM).
