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 […]

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 […]

Optimal Fog-Based Architecture For Internal Logistics in Industry 4.0 Production Floor
The deployment of Industry 4.0 is based on data collection and data treatment technologies. Sensors, Internet of Things, Fog computing and Cloud computing constitute the essential infrastructure for Industry 4.0. In fact, production resources, such as machines, tools, and mobile transportation systems need a permanent connection to the monitoring system to ensure their control. Fog […]

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 […]

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 […]
