The European project ASSISTANT will provide a set of AI-based digital twins that helps process engineers and production planners to operate collaborative mixed-model assembly lines based on the data collected from IoT devices external sources. Such tool help design line, plan production, improve tuning. In addition, system monitors line in real-time, ensures all required resources are available...

A type II line balancing problem with multiple workers in workstations (mALBP-II) is considered given a total number of workers, group and tasks into so as to minimize cycle time. Different from the manufacturing environment where traditional assembly (ALBP) rises, manual or semimanual enjoys much higher flexibility allowing perform same set on workpieces workstation parallel. The freedom speci...

In modern production systems, customized mass production of complex products, such as automotive or white goods, is often realized at assembly lines with a high degree of manual labor. For firms that apply assembly systems the assembly line balancing problem (ALBP) arises, which is to assign optimally tasks to stations or workers with respect to some constraints and objectives. Although the lit...
