Abstract

Industry 4.0 or advanced manufacturing is promoting a new Industrial Revolution by expanding the application of computing and communication technologies. Cyber Physical Systems can be considered the main component for the development of this new revolution. A CPS constitution requires a combination of several methodologies and technologies, many of which are emerging. In this context, the theory of intelligent agents and multi agent systems can bring several benefits such as decentralization of control, modularity, adaptation to the environment, etc. This article aims to present an architecture for intelligent agents, a network in the CPS 5C architecture, to compose a cyberphysical system in the industrial environment.
