Abstract

To solve the problem of control system complexity of manufacturing networks they may be modelled as Hausdorff Spaces and respective tangent spaces. Exploiting specific mappings as well as the criticality principles, all control and decision processes may be improved and sped up. Multi Agent Systems in combination with RFID technology are synthesised for a general decision procedure set up where the manufacturing execution control level may be seen as one specification of a generic decision support cycle, which is valid for complex and dynamic manufacturing systems on all levels.
