Scheduling in robotic cells: process flexibility and cell layout
The focus of this study is the identical parts robotic cell scheduling problem with m machines under the assumption of process and operational flexibility. A direct consequence of this assumption is a new robot move cycle that has been overlooked in the existing literature. We prove that this new cycle dominates all classical robot move cycles considered in the literature for m1⁄4 2. We also pr...
متن کاملRobotic cell scheduling with operational flexibility
In this paper, we study the problem of two-machine, identical parts robotic cell scheduling with operational $exibility. We assume that every part to be processed has a number of operations to be completed in these two machines and both machines are capable of performing all of the operations. The decision to be made includes 8nding the optimal robot move cycle and the corresponding optimal all...
متن کاملBicriteria robotic cell scheduling
This paper considers the scheduling problems arising in twoand three-machine manufacturing cells configured in a flowshop which repeatedly produces one type of product and where transportation of the parts between the machines is performed by a robot. The cycle time of the cell is affected by the robot move sequence as well as the processing times of the parts on the machines. For highly flexib...
متن کاملIntegrative Cell Formation and Layout Design in Cellular Manufacturing Systems
This paper proposes a new integrative view of manufacturing cell formation and both inter-cell and intra-cell layout problems. Cells formation and their popular bi-directional linear layout are determined simultaneously through a Dynamic Programming algorithm (with the objective of minimizing the inter-cell flow cost under a cell size constraint). This Dynamic Programming algorithm is implement...
متن کاملSequencing and Scheduling in Robotic Cells: Recent Developments
A great deal of work has been done to analyze the problem of robot move sequencing and part scheduling in robotic cell flowshops. We examine the recent developments in this literature. A robotic cell flowshop consists of a number of processing stages served by one or more robots. Each stage has one or more machines that perform that stage’s processing. Types of robotic cells are differentiated ...
