Abstract
Testing on real equipment is very expensive. Simulation of manufacturing processes helps find out best possible configuration of the production process even if the real equipment doesn’t exist. Extension or reconfiguration of the existing processes can be tested and evaluated before investment takes place. Validation of the plans in the simulated environment can also bring significant benefits. Proposed simulation system makes use of advantages of the agent technologies such as high flexibility ...
