[A] new project in manufacturing, in which autonomous and "intelligent" units called "holons" cooperate together to provide a flexible environment for manufacturing.

OBS

In short, a "holon" is an agent, as understood in cooperative knowledge-based systems(CKBS). The holonic concept has been proposed as the basis for highly flexible and dynamic manufacturing systems. It's considered the best concept for the next generation of manufacturing systems.

In an holonic manufacturing system(HMS), key elements such as machines, work centers, plants, parts, products, persons, departments, or divisions have autonomous and cooperative properties. These elements are called "holons", a word coined by combining "holos"(the whole) and "on"(a particle)... In an HMS, each holon's activities are determined through the cooperation with other holons, as opposed to being determined by a centralized mechanism. An HMS could therefore enjoy high agility, which is an important characteristic for future manufacturing systems.
