Abstract: Intelligent manufacturing has become the core driving force to promote the industry 4.0 revolution.With the continuous development of information technology,intelligent manufacturing not only requires the automation and intelligence of the production process itself,but also puts forward extremely high requirements for the flexibility,scalability and experimentation of the system. Multi-Agent System (MAS) has great potential in intelligent manufacturing because of its excellent characteristics of autonomy and interaction. However,the traditional development mode of MAS usually has objective problems such as fixed topology,slow response speed and difficult experimental verification,which limits its further development. To solve this problem,a rapid prototyping development system based on Networked Multi-Agent System (NMAS) with switchable topology was proposed to help developers easily obtain the rapid prototypes of target NMASs. The rapid prototype system can realize the flexible switch of topology structure,so as to adapt to the needs of different production scenarios. Through the introduction of advanced communication protocols and cooperative algorithms,the efficient communication,rapid response and user interaction of the development system can be guaranteed,so as to realize the rapid verification and optimization of the prototype development system. Combined with intelligent manufacturing,the system can not only improve the flexibility and scalability of the production process,but also greatly shorten the product development cycle,reduce the generation cost and labor time.
