Abstract:
The use of material handling robots (MHRs) for efficient material handling operations in the flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) has gained wide popularity and acceptability across the automated production industries. The coexistent scheduling between jobs and MHRs improves the overall efficiency of the FMS significantly. In the present study, the coexistent scheduling between the MHRs and the jobs under production in the FMS is carried out by using an advanced grey wolf optimization (AGWO) algorithm. The proposed FMS layout is made up of the tandem flow path configurations for the movements of MHRs. The FMS constitutes six flexible manufacturing cells (FMCs) partitioned in six zones and served by six MHRs deployed in each partitioned zone for efficient material handling operations. To develop the coexistent schedule between MHRs and jobs, a combined objective function is formulated by combining the two diverging objectives and solved by using the AGWO algorithm. The combined objective function yield for coexistent production scheduling in FMS, operating with nineteen work centers (WC) and six MHRs to produce thirty-six types of jobs and sixty-six types of jobs in varying batch production quantities is also reported in the paper.
