This study aimed to resolve a real-world traffic problem in a large-scale plant. Autonomous
vehicle systems (AVSs), which are designed to use multiple vehicles to transfer materials …

Real-time path planning for large, dense grid-based automated guided vehicle (AGV)
systems, used for example to sort parcels, is challenging. Most approaches described in the …

In recent times, the utilization of autonomous vehicles (AVs) has been significantly increased
over the globe. It is because of the tremendous rise in familiarity and the usage of artificial …

Autonomous vehicle systems (AVSs) are widely used to transfer wafers in semiconductor
manufacturing. However, in such systems, robust traffic control is a significant challenge …

This paper studies vehicle management in unified Automated Material Handling Systems
(AMHS) of semiconductor manufacturing facilities. The main characteristics of an AMHS are …

This paper considers an intelligent warehouse system (IWS) that requires the seamless
cooperation of three types of mobile robots: automated guided vehicles (AGVs), rail-guided …

Industry 4.0 empowered by the advanced technologies has driven digital transformation of
global manufacturing networks for smart production. However, most of the industries may not …

This study proposes an effective dynamic OHT routing approach to handle a substantial
volume of wafer transport in a modern large semiconductor fabrication plant. The proposed …

We propose to use information regarding the fab's future state for Overhead Hoist Transport
(OHT) dispatching, which is named as 'predictive dispatching'in this paper. Unlike …

Many semiconductor fabrication plants (fabs) prefer simulation-based decision making for
vehicle dwelling policies because it can capture a fab's scalability and complexity. Vehicle …
