Although agent technology fits naturally to the control of the massively parallel processes in warehouses, agent-based warehouse management and control systems (WMCSs) have hardly been used in industry. We argue that model-driven development of such systems is crucial for their industrial applicability. We present a graphical configuration tool that provides a user-friendly means to specify agentbased WMCSs. With this tool, warehouse system architects can specify a WMCS without detailed knowledge of the underlying implementation and without a large programming effort: a WMCS is generated from the architect’s specification.
