Abstract :
In order to improve quality and efficiency of technical service oriented production process, shorten producing cycle of product, a new mode of the technical service is presented, which is networked technical service based on multi-agent. This new technical service paradigm is different from traditional technical service paradigm. It has property of cooperation, automation and intelligence. It can integrate dispersed manufacturing and service resources more efficiently, create more value for enterprises and customers, and better innovative technology. Function of the networked technical service system is analyzed and based on it a three-layer network architecture of the networked technical service system is researched. For the system developing, the technology of multi-agent and the technology of data sharing and transformation are studied. Base on these works a prototype system of networked technical service is developed. Results of the system running prove the theory is correctness and the technology is feasibility.
