Automatic Compilation of Concurrent Hybrid Factories from Product Assembly Specifications
نویسنده
چکیده
We address the problem of designing a distributed, hybrid factory given a description of an assembly process and a palette of controllers for basic assembly operations. In particular, we present a method that, starting with a product assembly graph (PAG), allows us to \com-pile" a factory description, consisting of a geometry and a hybrid, dy-namical system representing the motions of robots on that geometry. This method is based on a formalism, which we have described in previous work, that allows us to manage the details of low level, continuous control of robot actuation and high level, logical control of various couplings of robot behaviors. The factory description is intended to be an aid in the design of an actual factory, if not directly implementable itself.

A multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) for hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with assembly operation
Scheduling for a two-stage production system is one of the most common problems in production management. In this production system, a number of products are produced and each product is assembled from a set of parts. The parts are produced in the first stage that is a fabrication stage and then they are assembled in the second stage that usually is an assembly stage. In this article, the first...

متن کاملHybrid algorithms for Job shop Scheduling Problem with Lot streaming and A Parallel Assembly Stage
In this paper, a Job shop scheduling problem with a parallel assembly stage and Lot Streaming (LS) is considered for the first time in both machining and assembly stages. Lot Streaming technique is a process of splitting jobs into smaller sub-jobs such that successive operations can be overlapped. Hence, to solve job shop scheduling problem with a parallel assembly stage and lot streaming, deci...
