Abstract
Multi-agent-based manufacturing (MABM) is a cutting-edge system that harnesses autonomous agents to boost modern production processes. By combining decentralization, adaptation, and cooperation MABM enables the rapid development of customized goods, shortened lead times, and minimized waste. The system effectively optimizes energy use and environmental impact, critical for succeeding in today's data-driven manufacturing world. It incorporates multiple agent kinds and coordination methodologies, delivering features such as autonomy, scalability, and decision-making in real-time. While MABM has found applications in many sectors, its greatest influence is envisaged in high-tech manufacturing, where it improves resource allocation, quality control, and supply chain management. Despite its advantages, MABM also has disadvantages, such as limited predictability and control. As the technology improves, it is poised to transform manufacturing, providing autonomous and flexible production, effective management of supply chains, and increased sustainability and regulatory compliance.
