AIMAS follows a phased, iterative and evidence-based approach, from real industrial needs to the validation of the multi-agent ecosystem in industrial pilots.
Four iterative phases
1
Requirements, Use Cases & Architecture
Documented use cases and the AIMAS reference architecture.
2
Agent Design & Decision Algorithms
Validated agent prototypes and decision algorithms.
3
Platform Integration & Human–AI Interaction
Integrated platform connected to MES/ERP systems.
4
Industrial Pilots, Evaluation & Refinement
Refined system with empirical evidence of impact.
Phases overlap deliberately to allow continuous feedback between agent design, technology integration and validation on the shop floor.
