Go-green manufacturing holons: a step towards sustainable manufacturing operations control

Abstract Despite their potential benefits in the context of sustainable manufacturing operations, holonic and multi-agent architectures are still not designed methodologically to support this major societal and environmental challenge. To address this shortcoming, the generic concept of go-green manufacturing holon is proposed. The idea is to incite researchers to develop sustainability-oriented manufacturing operations control architectures, holonic or multi-agent, and to provide a usable generic concept that is easy to appropriate, particularize and implement. An illustration of the concept is proposed, as well as its extension to the context of circular economy.
