Abstract (EN): The project XPRESS introduces a completely new scalable concept of an expertonic networked factory, which is composed by a coordinated team of specialized autonomous entities (intelligent production units), each knowing how to do a certain process optimally. This paper looks in particular to the transport intelligent unit implementation, which is responsible for the transportation of components at the shop-floor. An architecture based in a multi-agent approach that uses automatic guided vehicle expertons to perform this task is suggested. Additionally, it is presented an implementation of the automatic guided vehicle transport intelligent unit that uses the. NET framework integrated with the expertonic framework.
