Abstract
Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) are becoming increasingly popular in the field of automated production systems (aPS). This is due to the new requirements the Industry 4.0 puts on an aPS like modularity, scalability, or versatility. However, for creating MASs, special hardware and software are often necessary, making it hard for small and middle-sized enterprises (SME) to start developing such systems. To overcome this challenge, this paper proposes a new approach for MASs, which lowers the entry barriers of their development for SMEs. For this purpose, a concept is developed, which uses open and free software protocols. Furthermore, it enables the use of standard automation hardware and Internet of Things (IoT) hardware. For evaluation purposes, the concept is subsequently implemented and tested utilizing a plant for creating individualized cosmetic products.
