In spite of rapid development of Information Technology there is lack of proper, flexible and inexpensive solutions suitable for integration flow in manufacturing systems. From the beginning of last decade the research have been focused on development of multiagent technology, that allows to build distributed, easy to reconfigure systems based on intelligent modules. A short revive of the state of the art in multiagent systems for shop floor control is presented in the paper. There is presented the multiagent shop floor control system developed at Warsaw University of Technology as well. The system is based on multiagent platform JADE, on which operate specialised independent agents that communicate and plan their work according to flexible algorithms.

PL

Szybki rozwój technik informatycznych nie zwiększa bezpośrednio informatyzacji procesów produkcyjnych. Spowodowane jest to brakiem tanich, prostych w obsłudze i otwartych na zmiany konfiguracyjne systemów sterowania produkcją. Obiecującym kierunkiem badań w tym obszarze są systemy oparte na idei wieloagentowości. W pracy przedstawiono informację o stanie wiedzy w tym obszarze oraz zaprezentowano prototyp systemu sterowania bazujący na agentach niezależnych i negocjacyjnych algorytmach decyzyjnych.
