This paper investigates a dynamic scheduling problem within a job shop robotic cell,
wherein multiple robotic arms are responsible for material handling in a U-shaped …

Many modern manufacturing settings feature especially close relationship of the
transportation of workpieces between production steps with the scheduling of manufacturing …

Scheduling of a robotic flow shop, where a dual-gripper robot transports parts between
machines, is addressed with a makespan measure. Most previous studies on robotic flow …

Robotic cell scheduling has received considerable attention from researchers. Several
existing review papers have presented then-existing studies on robotic cell scheduling and …

This paper investigates a real-time dynamic job-shop scheduling problem in a robotic cell, in
which multiple jobs enter into the cell with unexpected arriving rates. Different from classical …

We consider a flow shop for processing single type of parts serviced by a single robot. The
robot transportation times are allowed to have small perturbations. We treat the robotic flow …

Cyclic hoist scheduling problems in automated electroplating lines and surface processing
shops attract many attentions and interests both from practitioners and researchers. In such …

This paper studies the cyclic jobshop hoist scheduling with multi-capacity reentrant tanks
and time-window constraints. Parts of different types are processed in a series of tanks with …

In this paper, we study the hoist scheduling problem. The latter is often encountered in
electroplating processes where a variety of jobs have to be processed in small quantities …

This work addresses the problem of scheduling multiple hoists (robots), which arises on real
automated electroplating lines. Several hoists operate on a shared track and should not …
