Resumen

This paper reports an experience on setting a multi-agent system to control a complex production environment, a steelmaking manufacturing plant. The decentralized character of such a plant fits perfectly with the approach of a control system by means of a multi-agent configuration. The agents devoted to rendering the superficial and internal defects maps, to developing and maintaining the learning context, to evaluating the coils entering the pickling line and to forecasting the remaining defects on the coil are described. Data mining techniques are used by the agents to gain access to the actual status of the manufacturing process, thus helping in the decision-making processes. This proves to be a great aid in improving the quality of the products and reducing both costs and the environmental footprint of the manufacturing process. The results of using such a system reinforce our belief in the approach presented. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
