EasySched: a multi-agent architecture for the predictive and reactive scheduling of Industry 4.0 production systems based on the available renewable energy
Industry 4.0 is concerned with sustainable development constraints. In this context, we propose a multi-agent architecture, named EasySched, aiming at elaborating predictive and reactive scheduling as the result of a coordination between systems producing goods and systems producing renewable energy. The validation of this architecture is original, and was conducted in a completely and physically distributed way, using networked embedded systems. This validation was done on a series of instances inspired by the literature. The results showed that EasySched succeeds in adapting the production of goods according to the available renewable energy
