Optimizing Energy-Conscious Dynamic Flexible Job Shop Scheduling: Multi-Agent Simulation Approach
Nowadays, manufacturing industry around the world is facing strong economic pressures and enormous environmental challenges due to its huge energy consumption and associated environmental impacts. One of the effective strategies to reduce energy consumption is by employing intelligent scheduling techniques. In this paper, we propose a decision making tool, based on multi-agent simulation, to address […]

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 […]

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 […]

Effect of Human-Robot Interaction on the Fleet Size of AIV Transporters in FMS
The execution of material handling tasks using autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) has proven a real success during the last decade. Nevertheless, the installation of AGVs is costly as it needs to modify the workshop’s configuration by defining dedicated movement zones. Recently, more flexible and collaborative mobile robots known as autonomous intelligent robots (AIV) can be […]

Scheduling of multi product/multi-pump pipeline distribtion system
Energy transportation is a vital field in the petroleum industry. The transport using multi-product pipeline is a new but challenging technic to distribute refined products. The management of such system is the most challenging issue of these systems. This paper proposed solve this management problem using a continuous mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for the […]

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 […]

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 […]
