Abstract

A concrete distributor is the key equipment in the production of precast concrete, abbreviated PC, components. Due to the lack of the automatic and intelligent distribution control system for the most domestic concrete distributor, the quality index is poor and the efficiency is low in the concrete distributing process. In order to solve the above problem, the method of constructing a control system is proposed in this paper. This method is based on the theory of multi-agent and the production technology of PC components. The model structure of complex control systems of multi-agent is studied, and the partition mechanism and coordination mechanism of multi-agent for concrete distribution are analysed. Then, the new model of a multi-agent control system for concrete distribution is designed, and the simulation platform of the system is built. The model of the multi-agent control system for concrete distribution designed is beneficial to theory research in the process control of concrete distribution and its application in the field bus control system. Therefore, the foundation for realizing the automation and intelligence of production in concrete distributing is established.
