The research presented in this paper aligns with the advancement of Industry 4.0 by integrating intelligent machine tools and industrial robots within Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS). Primarily, a development approach for Digital Twin (DT) is presented, beginning from the design, sizing, and configuration stages of the system and extending thr...

Production rescheduling involves re-optimizing production schedules in response to disruptions that render the initial schedule inefficient or unfeasible. This process requires simultaneous consideration of multiple objectives to develop new schedules that are both efficient and stable. However, existing review papers have paid limited attention to...

The dynamic scheduling problem (DSP) in unreliable flexible manufacturing systems (UFMSs) with concurrency, conflicts, resource sharing, and sequential operations is a complex optimization problem that requires the use of efficient solution methodologies. The effectiveness of scheduling UFMSs relies on the quality of equipment maintenance. Currentl...

After the fourth industrial evolution, precision and automatic manufacturing have become increasingly widely accepted in production. With highly variable productivity and flexibility, flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) lower production costs and increase efficiency. Due to its resource shareability, unexpected system deadlock may occur in some sp...

In the flexible manufacturing system deadlock prevention domain, researchers’ almost final target is to seek the maximally permissive controllers for solving the deadlock problems of flexible manufacturing systems. However, it seems a challenging work. Whatever you adopt, what kinds of methods, policies, and strategies, it seems complicated to obta...

This paper proposes a genetic algorithm approach to solve the identical parallel machines problem with tooling constraints in job shop flexible manufacturing systems (JS-FMSs) with the consideration of tool wear. The approach takes into account the residual useful life of tools and allocates a set of jobs with specific processing times and tooling ...

Petri nets (PNs) are widely used to model flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). This paper deals with the performance optimization of FMSs modeled by Petri nets that aim to maximize the system’s performance under a given budget by optimizing both quantities and types of resources, such as sensors and devices. Such an optimization problem is challe...

Demand trends towards mass customization drive the need for increasingly productive and flexible assembly operations. Walking-worker assembly lines can present advantages over fixed-worker systems. This article presents a multiproduct parallel walking-worker assembly line with shared automated stations, and evaluates its operational performance com...
