Abstract
This paper will present some new theories such as biological
manufacturing system, the fractal factory theory, holonic
manufacturing systems, and multi-agent theory in the context of
manufacturing systems. The objective of the paper is to show how
these theories can contribute to develop the new concepts that are
required for controlling the manufacturing systems of the future.
Thereafter it will present the potential for improvement of the
manufacturing system by introduction and implementation of these
theories. The paper tries to encapsulate the main area of my Ph.D.
thesis research which will evolve around the idea of integrating
intelligent elements into the control systems of the manufacturing
systems. The research will concentrate on integration of
manufacturing units by use of intelligent control mechanisms,
information technology and the material handling as the key
integrators.
