Abstract
The clothing artefact business is facing relevant restructuring to become able to produce items with enhanced value as for quality reliability, fashion inventiveness and mass customization. The paper presents a multi-agent simulation environment developed to assess and virtually check the feasibility and performances of flexible automation solutions that can help the clothing industry to overcome the shift towards knowledge driven organizations. It addresses new options based on distributed intelligence and robotized cooperative resources including human assisted working.
