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 […]

Cost Optimisation for Wheelchair Redesign
Requirements of users in developing countries differ from those of developed countries. This difference can be seen through wheelchair displacement in infrastructures that don’t meet international standards. However, developing countries are obliged to purchase products from developed countries that don’t necessarily meet all user’s requirements. The modification of these requirements will generate disruption on all […]

Capacitated multiple allocation incomplete hub location problem allowing direct links between non-hub nodes
This paper addresses a flexible hub location problem in which the inter-hub network is incomplete, the allocation of non-hub nodes to hub nodes is multiple, direct links between non-hub nodes are allowed, with a limited capacity of both hubs and links. This problem has several real-world applications, in particular in air, urban and maritime transportation […]

Multi-agent Simulation to Predict Global Behavior of Population Based on Elementary Local Markovian model
New technologies based robotics and data analysis are starting to be used for the treatment of disease in horticulture field. Such autonomous systems evolving in dynamic environment need automatic operation and control based on dynamic scheduling. To do so, it is necessary to predict the behaviour of this environment to better control these autonomous systems. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Toward BIM and LPS data integration for Lean site project management: A State-of-the-Art review and recommendations
Over recent years, the independent adoption of Lean Construction and Building Information Modeling (BIM) have shown improvements in construction industry efficiency. Because those approaches have overlapping concepts, it’s thought that their synergic adoption can bring much more benefits. Today, the implementation of the Lean-BIM interactions theoretical framework is still challenging many companies. This paper conducts […]

Augmented design with additive manufacturing. methodology: Tangible object-based method to enhance creativity in design for additive manufacturing
Additive manufacturing (AM) brings new design potential compared with traditional manufacturing. Nevertheless, traditional manufacturing knowledge remains embedded in the minds of designers and is a real cognitive barrier to design in AM. Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) provides tools, techniques, and guidelines to optimize design with the specifics of AM. These methods are usable at […]

Comparative analysis of hydraulic refrigeration and mechanical vapour compression water cooling technologies in designing a technical system for oysters conservation
The phenomenon of summer mortality in Pacifi c oysters cultures also occurs in Brazilian crops, with predominance in the adult phase, generating signifi cant losses for local producers. In the search for a technological solution to mitigate its effects, the mechanical vapour compression and hydraulic refrigeration concepts are evaluated as two proposed cooling technologies. The […]

Multi-agent based simulation-optimization of maintenance routing in offshore wind farms
Offshore wind energy is expected to be the first source of energy in the future thanks to its numerous advantages. However, its maintenance is a complex and costly activity, which is increasingly attracting the attention of researchers and industrials. This paper proposes a simulation-optimization approach for the routing and the scheduling of maintenance for offshore […]
