A Distributed AI system for job shop control uses multiple autonomous agents (each representing a machine, job, or cell) that negotiate and coordinate in real-time. This approach, often based on Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), improves flexibility and resilience over centralized systems by allowing dynamic scheduling, fault tolerance, and adaptive responses to disruptions like machine breakdowns or rush orders.
