Reasonable scheduling of a train’s loading and unloading equipment can reduce the energy consumption production operations; this has great value for green development terminals. The collaborative model Automated Rail Mounted Gantry (ARMG) Guided Vehicle (AGV) is used to minimize in scenario vertical railway entering port shared storage yard existing between under mixed operation mode “train–shi...

The time that containerships or transportation trucks spend in marine container terminals for loading and unloading their cargo is a real cost scenario which affects, not only the smooth operation of ports, but also affect the overall cost of container trade. The operators of shipping lines and container terminals are required to realize the importance of this issue and the costs associated wit...

This study proposes a digital twin (DT) application framework that integrates deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms for the dynamic scheduling of crane transportation in workshops. DT is used to construct connection between workshop service system, logical simulation environment, 3D visualization model and physical workshop, DRL support core decision scheduling. First, problem constructe...

This section provides detailed results for all sets of benchmark instances introduced by Meisel [1]. The notations of problems characteristics are the same as ones used in Meisel [1]. Loc indicates the distributions of tasks on the vessel, f indicates the the handling rate, d is the precedence density, q is the number of QCs, and s is the safety distance. The signs ∗ and ▲ respectively indicate...

This paper develops an operator guidance system for an industrial process which involves scheduling ideas from manufacturing systems. The industrial process under study is the converter aisle in a copper smelter. Our objective is to increase throughput by improving utilization of the smelter’s resources. This paper partly addresses this objective by applying scheduling techniques to optimize th...

Selecting the best possible cranes and identifying spatial conflict-free locations on sites can result in productivity and safety improvements for large-scale industrial construction projects. In the current practice, experienced lift engineers select cranes based on the heaviest lift and/or the largest lifting radius of the identified crane. This practice is relatively time-consuming, and opti...

this paper proposes a simple but efficient technique to control 3d overhead crane. load musttrack a desired path and not sway more than a reasonable range.the proposed method uses pidcontrol for trolley to track the desired path and fuzzy control compensation to eliminate the loadswing. only the projection of swing angle is applied to design the fuzzy controller. no plantinformation of crane is...

This study presents a steel container crane movement analysis and assessment based on structural health monitoring (SHM). The accelerometers are used to monitor the dynamic crane behavior and a 3-D finite element model (FEM) was designed to express the static displacement of the crane under the different load cases. The multi-input single-output nonlinear autoregressive neural network with exte...
