Part sequencing in three-machine no-wait robotic cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
A no-wait robotic cell is an automated ow shop in which a robot is used to move the parts from a machine to the next. Parts are not allowed to wait. We analyze the complexity of the part sequencing problem in a robotic cell with three machines, for di erent periodical patterns of robot moves, when the objective is productivity maximization. c © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

A scalarization-based method for multiple part-type scheduling of two-machine robotic systems with non-destructive testing technologies
This paper analyzes the performance of a robotic system with two machines in which machines are configured in a circular layout and produce non-identical parts repetitively. The non-destructive testing (NDT) is performed by a stationary robotic arm located in the center of the circle, or a cluster tool. The robotic arm integrates multiple tasks, mainly the NDT of the part and its transition bet...
متن کاملSolving Re-entrant No-wait Flow Shop Scheduling Problem
In this study, we consider the production environment of no-wait reentrant flow shop with the objective of minimizing makespan of the jobs. In a reentrant flow shop, at least one job should visit at least one of the machines more than once. In a no-wait flowshop scheduling problem, when the process of a specific job begins on the first machine, it should constantly be processed without waiting ...
متن کاملA New Solution for the Cyclic Multiple-Part Type Three-Machine Robotic Cell Problem based on the Particle Swarm Meta-heuristic
In this paper, we develop a new mathematical model for a cyclic multiple-part type threemachine robotic cell problem. In this robotic cell a robot is used for material handling. The objective is finding a part sequence to minimize the cycle time (i.e.; maximize the throughput) with assumption of known robot movement. The developed model is based on Petri nets and provides a new method to calcul...
متن کاملCyclic production for the robotic balanced no-wait flow shop
Abstract. In a no-wait robotic flow-shop, the parts are transferred from a machine to another one by a robot and the time a part can remain on a machine is fixed. The objective is to maximize the throughput rate of the cell, i.e. to find optimal cyclic robot moves. In this paper, we consider identical parts in the balanced case (all processing times are equal). We present a conjecture which giv...
متن کاملLot Streaming in No-wait Multi Product Flowshop Considering Sequence Dependent Setup Times and Position Based Learning Factors
This paper considers a no-wait multi product flowshop scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup times. Lot streaming divide the lots of products into portions called sublots in order to reduce the lead times and work-in-process, and increase the machine utilization rates. The objective is to minimize the makespan. To clarify the system, mathematical model of the problem is presented. Sin...
