Abstract The requirements of industrial manufacturing indicate a need for reconfiguration and reprogramming process flow, in order to meet changes in the product with the changing market requirements. The sizes of production lots are getting smaller and the variety of products on the same line has increased. These changes imply changes in the manufacturing process, which in many cases means changing the layout, reprogramming the systems, etc. This makes the preparation time of manufacturing devices an important factor in the formation of the final cost. Devices with more autonomy, able to manage themselves and allow a rapid exchange of features are still to be desired in a manufacturing environment, where conventional systems with centralized scheduling, with defined sequence in the central controller and array of features still fall short. But new solutions must be compared in performance with traditional solutions as there are features that traditional systems are performing well, and that are still on the market. Comparing a solution using multi-agent systems and using a solution centric management on a Programmable Logic Controller can clearly define which metric systems have better performance.
