The manufacturers are on the hunt for flexible and mass production facility with automation that is capable of accommodating changes to product specifications. The exigency for flexible automation is in surge due to the desire for customized products and fluctuating market trends. The flexibility of automation insists high level of skill in computer modeling and programming.

Plug and Produce is a more active system in which production starts automatically equipped with an interface for the mechanical, electrical, and other media modules each process module contains a local controller that make its own decision as they are plugged, this aids in rapid and cost-effective modification of the factory for agile adaptation to the actual production system.

The configurable multiagent system(C-MAS) is developed by University West to aid flexibility in automation by introducing digital configuration instead of high-level programming for plug and produce which assists manufacturing companies to adapt to customized production with ease and in-house knowledge.

The thesis work focuses on developing a python script to generate the sequence of goals for the C-MAS, the graphical sequence of goals chart represents manufacturing goals which will enable flexible automation systems, to understand the sequence of goals programming is not a prerequisite, FreeCAD is the tool used to develop the sequence of goals. As part of the research, an extensive literature study is performed to understand different architectures of multi-agent systems and different approaches to flexible automation systems.

The results of the thesis work developed Python script that generates the sequence of goals chart by reading the configuration data of the product and the literature study on existing architectures of multi-agent systems and flexible automation systems.
