The existing research on the two-workshop integrated scheduling problem with symmetrical resources does not consider complex product attribute structure and objective situation of plant equipment resources. This results in prolongation makespan reduction utilization rate general workshop. To solve above problems, a algorithm based process tree cyclic decomposition (STHIS-PTCD) was proposed. Fir...

To address issues in discrete manufacturing workshops, such as the difficulty for management personnel to coordinate workshop production and challenge of visualizing supervising a massive amount temporary data, this paper proposes service-oriented digital-twin-system framework workshops using industrial IoT platform system-service solve problems opaque monitoring operators low interactivity 2D ...

This one-day workshop seeks to reflect on the notion of fabrication in both personal and industrial contexts. Although these contexts are very distinct in their economical and political vision, they share important characteristics (e.g., users interacting with specific fabrication equipment and tools). The workshop topic spans from personal fabrication to (automated) production, from applied to...
