Abstract
This paper focuses on the application of a bee-like autonomous control method to a matrix-like shop floor model with setup times. Autonomous control means decentralized coordination of intelligent logistic objects in a dynamically changing environment. By the aid of a continuous flow simulation the system's performance will be analyzed in regard to the application effect on throughput times and inventory levels.
