Optimisation and Simulation of Transportation Tasks in Flexible Job Shop with Muti-Robot Systems
Collaborative and smart robots represents a pillar of the industry 4.0. Transportation tasks are becoming more and more important with the generalization of flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) use. The use of robots is very suitable for these kind tasks due to their repetitiveness and low add value. This paper present a multi-robot workshop simulation in […]

A Two-Echelon Location Routing Problem for Bio-Waste Transportation
Technological development and urbanization have increased municipal waste generation and pollution. Recycling becomes a popular way to treat solid waste for generating energy, and therefore protecting the environment. In this paper, we propose a mixed-integer programming model to formulate and solve multi-type bio-waste transportation as a two-echelon location-routing problem. The objective is to simultaneously determine […]

Urban Heat Island Causes, Consequences, and Mitigation Measures with Emphasis on Reflective and Permeable Pavements
Economic and social development of urban and rural areas continues in parallel with the increase of the human population, especially in developing countries, which leads to sustained expansion of impervious surface areas, particularly paved surfaces. The conversion of pervious surfaces to impervious surfaces significantly modifies local energy balance in urban areas and contributes to urban […]

Forecasting KPIs of Production Systems Using LSTM Networks
Key Performance indicators (KPIs) are the bases of management, decision support and forecasting tools of production systems. They are monitored by companies to analyze and control their manufacturing processes. KPIs allow measuring how successful is an organisation towards a set of objectives to be achieved. Moreover, accurate forecasting of KPIs allows decisions to be redirected […]

Building Occupancy Behavior and Prediction Methods: A Critical Review and Challenging Locks
Energy use in buildings is increasing to provide optimal comfort for the occupants. People spend 90% of their lifetime in buildings. Therefore, indoor environment quality and comfort management have a crucial role in maintaining occupants’ health and productivity. Reducing energy consumption for optimal comfort management is important to minimize CO 2 emission and global warming […]

Evaluation of Dispatching Rules Performance for a DJSSP Towards their Application in Industry 4.0
Dispatching rules (DRs) are very attractive heuristics for solving complex dynamic job-shop scheduling problems. DRs advantages can be summarized in their ability to make real-time scheduling decision and their ease of implementation. Many research works have been performed to design dispatching rules and to evaluate their performance regarding the main scheduling objectives (i.e. mean flow […]

Need-seeking: Creating, discovering or recovering needs?
Need-seeker approach, which orients new product development towards the satisfaction of future needs, has been recognized as one of the most efficient innovation strategies to date. But finding future needs to address remains a challenge for companies, entrepreneurs and practitioners, as they lack a methodological framework to structure their approach. In this chapter, we first […]
