... to the great differences in the characteristics of the product families, the shop floor of the company is divided into three divisions: the High Output (HO) division, whose cells are dedicated to the production of boilers; the Confort division, whose cells are dedicated to the production of water heaters; and the Manufacture division, that is responsible for the intermediate production for the other two divisions. In Figure 2, it is possible to see the factory layout. The shop floor has, therefore, two divisions dedicated to the assembly of finished goods: HO (in light orange) and Confort (in blue); and one dedicated to the intermediate production, Manufacture (in green), which is composed by the intermediate product sections, the final production cells for components; and by the kits area (responsible for the spare parts required by each product). ...

This paper studies the prediction of the received signal strength at a receiver that tracks an automated guided vehicle (AGV) as it moves along a factory route. We apply machine learning to predict a sliding-window pattern of the received signal strength indication (RSSI) signal and further improve the prediction performance by using multiple recei...

In this paper, a mathematical formulation is developed to solve an electric vehicle routing problem with heterogeneous vehicles and partial charge to minimize the total distance traveled by the vehicles. The proposed model considers different characteristics of vehicles such as load capacities, battery capacities, energy consumption rates, and charging speeds. In addition, when each vehicle visits the charging station to recharge its battery due to the limitations in the battery capacity, we implement the partial charge, which is the charging method to charge only the necessary amount of energy to finish the remaining route. A numerical analysis is conducted to validate the proposed model and demonstrate its practical applicability.
The material supply of workplaces in a manufacturing system can be realized in many ways. In the last few years, the milkrun-based in-plant supply is widely spread, especially in the field of the automotive industry. Milkrun supply makes it possible to feed manufacturing and assembly workstations keeping on the 9R rule. The lean approach is a framework for reducing costs and enhancing the quality of products and processes in automotive domain. The design and operation of milkrun based in-plant supply includes a wide range of optimization problems, like location, routing, scheduling, assignment or queuing problems. After a careful literature review, the authors describe the typical milkrun solutions of in-plant supply. The description of milkrun morphology makes it possible to define the most important aspects of milkrun supply solutions. Next, typical milkrun based supply processes are presented and their evaluation method is also described to analyze the efficiency of various solutions.
