Abstract (EN): The project XPRESS introduces a completely new scalable concept of an expertonic networked factory, which is composed by a co-ordinated team of specialized autonomous objects (expertons), each knowing how to do a certain process optimally. This paper looks in particular to the transport experton implementation, which is an experton responsible to carry material at the shop-floor. It is suggested an architecture based in a multi-agent approach that uses a conveyor belt transport experton to perform this task. Additionally, it is presented an implementation of the conveyor belt transport experton that uses the. NET framework integrated with the expertonic framework.
