Todays’ flexible automation can be any category of automated production that shows some sort of "flexibility". Most often that this flexibility has a capacity of producing different products in a minimal period frame. This includes producing variety of products within a higher digree of changes or customization. These sorts of methods are currently geared in the direction of modular production approaches notably to get a manufacturing system that's in changeover to become flexible and demand-oriented. The requirement for bulk product personalization also paves the way for its debut of advanced approaches to become incorporated to a manufacturing approach. This really is a result of the elevated demand for a manufacturing system to become flexible and manage a higher level of changes. Manufacturing systems that are built to cope with these changes enable a system to have dynamic properties and hence to evolve according to changing requirements.
One of the most interesting result found by this thesis is the ability to customize a prefabricated wall under or before production. The production is based on a multi-agent system run by university west and called Plug&Produce. This thesis proposes a tool that extracts CAD (Wall Design) data as input to a configurable multi-agent system. The proposed tool has two forms: processing of CAD drawing by running scripts within CAD application and passing on the data from the CAD application to a configurable multi-agent system using JSON file format.
