Cabin Placement Layout Optimisation Based on Systematic Layout Planning and Genetic Algorithm

Applying Genetic Algorithm to Dynamic Layout Problem

In today’s economy, manufacturing plants must be able to operate efficiently and respond quickly to changes in the product mix and demand.[1] Layout design has a significant impact on manufacturing efficiency. Initially, it was treated as a static decision but due to improvements in technology, it is possible to rearrange the manufacturing facilities in different scenarios. The Plant layout...

Genetic Algorithm (GA)-Based Inclinometer Layout Optimization

This paper presents numerical simulation results of an airflow inclinometer with sensitivity studies and thermal optimization of the printed circuit board (PCB) layout for an airflow inclinometer based on a genetic algorithm (GA). Due to the working principle of the gas sensor, the changes of the ambient temperature may cause dramatic voltage drifts of sensors. Therefore, eliminating the influe...

A Formwork Layout Model based on Genetic Algorithm

The recent increase in the number of irregularly shaped tall building has caused a continuous increase in the formwork costs. To reduce the cost of forms, modular forms are widely used since they are cheap and reusable. However, they cannot be applied around columns which are irregularly arranged. This study introduces a formwork layout model using a genetic algorithm to reduce formwork materia...

3-D Fixture Layout Design System Based on Genetic Algorithm

Designing a fixture layout is the primary task of fixture design, which consists of determining the different combinations of locators and clamping scheme. Designing a fixture is a lengthy process and the performance of a fixture is usually difficult to predict. Designing fixture to effectively restrain complex components has been recognised as a bottleneck in fixture design development. The ai...
