Abstract
In the present day technology creation, automation is a promising technology towards the achievement of constructive, innovative and sustainable designs and products in industry 4. The control system of machines that involves the application of mechatronic objects or intelligent units which are envisioned as building blocks for design of the systems are rather configured than being designed. In order to meet dynamic customer needs, within minimal time frames, thereby achieving short-time-to-market. The crucial element in this scenario is that the customer drives the pace and direction of the manufacturing entity. The reality of the matter is that the manufacturer needs to produce customer-centric designed products, and this may be achieved through the use of machinery and a system configured to satisfy the need. Realizing this scenario, in this article, an automated agent-based control system methodology (ACSME) has been proposed for Reconfigurable Bending Press Machine (RBPM) application due to ongoing research. The proposed methodology will help manufacturer of RBPM to address the need for more flexible control systems and to demonstrate their industrial flexibility in several reconfigurable machines applications.
