Fault Tolerance for Manufacturing Components

This article proposes a multiagent system for industrial production elements that transfers the concept of fault tolerance to the manufacturing levels of the organisation, acting automatically under open protocols when there is degradation or failure of any of the components, ensuring that normal operation is resumed within a delimited time. The main characteristics of this system are the drastic reduction in recovery times, the support for the significant heterogeneity existing in these scenarios and their high level of automation, while practically dispensing with the intervention of system administrators.
