Application of Multi Agent Systems for Leak Testing (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rehman, H. U., Chaplin, J. C., Zarzycki, L., Jones, M., & Ratchev, S. (2021, November). Application of Multi Agent Systems for Leak Testing. Presented at 2021 9th International Conference on Systems and Control (ICSC), Caen, France

The manufacturing of customised products is a driver in the trend of incorporating intelligence in the system. This intelligence is required to enable the system to self-conFigure processes to meet the requirements of unique products. This work deals...

Visualisation on a Shoestring: a low-cost approach for building visualisation components of industrial digital solutions (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Martínez-Arellano, G., McNally, M. J., Chaplin, J. C., Ling, Z., McFarlane, D., & Ratchev, S. (2021, November). Visualisation on a Shoestring: a low-cost approach for building visualisation components of industrial digital solutions. Presented at 11th International Workshop on Service Oriented, Holonic and Multi-Agent Manufacturing Systems for Industry of the Future (SOHOMA’21), Cluny, France

The rate of adoption of digital solutions in manufacturing environments remains low despite the benefits these can bring. This is particularly acute among industrial small and medium enterprises (SMEs), who typically do not have the confidence to ado...

Cloud Based Decision Making for Multi-Agent Production Systems (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rehman, H. U., Pulikottil, T., Estrada-Jimenez, L. A., Mo, F., Chaplin, J. C., Barata, J., & Ratchev, S. (2021, September). Cloud Based Decision Making for Multi-Agent Production Systems. Presented at EPIA2021 - 20th EPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence, [Online]

The use of multi-agent systems (MAS) as a distributed control method for shop-floor manufacturing control applications has been extensively researched. MAS provides new implementation solutions for smart manufacturing requirements such as the high dy... Read More about Cloud Based Decision Making for Multi-Agent Production Systems.

A Framework for Self-Configuration in Manufacturing Production Systems (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rehman, H. U., Chaplin, J. C., Zarzycki, L., & Ratchev, S. (2021, July). A Framework for Self-Configuration in Manufacturing Production Systems. Presented at 12th Advanced Doctoral Conference On Computing, Electrical And Industrial Systems (DOCEIS2021), Caparica, Portugal

Intelligence in manufacturing enables the optimization and configuration of processes, and a goal of future smart manufacturing is to enable processes to configure themselves-called self-configuration. This paper describes a framework for utilising d... Read More about A Framework for Self-Configuration in Manufacturing Production Systems.

Context-Aware Plug and Produce for Robotic Aerospace Assembly (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sanderson, D., Shires, E., Chaplin, J. C., Brookes, H., Liaqat, A., & Ratchev, S. (2020, December). Context-Aware Plug and Produce for Robotic Aerospace Assembly. Presented at IPAS 2020: 9th International Precision Assembly Seminar, Kitzbühel, Austria

Aerospace production systems face increasing requirements for flexibility and reconfiguration, along with considerations of cost, utilisation, and efficiency. This drives a need for systems with a small number of automation platforms (e.g. industrial... Read More about Context-Aware Plug and Produce for Robotic Aerospace Assembly.
