Autonomous control means the decentralized coordination of intelligent logistic objects and the routing through a logistic system by the intelligent parts themselves. This paper shows the application of a pheromone-based autonomous control method to a matrix model of a shop floor and compares the performance to an earlier developed method in different dynamic demand situations. The discrete event simulations are analysed by comparing statistics on throughput time data resulting from the system's behaviour in dynamic order arrival situations.
