Abstract

Networked manufacturing enterprises are now moving towards more open information exchange for integrating their activities with those of their suppliers, customers and partners within wide supply chain networks. Therefore there has been increasing need for software systems to support business networks. This paper introduces SteelNet agent architecture, which facilitates a real collaboration of companies by enabling a seamless information and material flow in a business network. Different operations of order-delivery process in the network have been modelled as agents that are able to collaborate with each other. The SteeNet agent architecture is a basis for a prototype that handles the operations of manufacturing steel products in a supply chain.
