Title
Flexible testing platform for employment of RFID-enabled multi-agent system on flexible assembly line
Abstract
•The objective of this study is to examine the potential enhancement of flexible assembly line performance through the use of a radio-frequency-identification-enabled multi-agent scheduling and control system (RFID-enabled MASCS).•A novel simulation test platform is developed for the examination of an RFID-enabled MASCS in a flexible assembly line, and several system performance measures are considered in the simulation test platform.•The developed simulation test platform is based on a hybrid agent (HA) and uses an existing RFID-enabled MASCS architecture.
