A great deal of work has been done to analyze the problem of robot move sequencing and
part scheduling in robotic flowshop cells. We examine the recent developments in this …

Fully automated production cells consisting of flexible machines and a material handling
robot have become commonplace in contemporary manufacturing systems. Much research …

We address a robotic flow shop scheduling problem where two part types are processed on
each given set of dedicated machines. A single robot moving on a fixed rail transports one …

In this survey we review the current complexity status of basic cyclic scheduling models. We
start with the formulations of three fundamental cyclic scheduling problems, namely the …

According to [Dolgui, Alexandre, and Jean Marie Proth. 2010. Supply Chain Engineering:
Useful Methods and Techniques. Vol. 539. Springer.], advancing tactical levels in production …

Robotic cell scheduling problem with batch-processing machines (RCSP-BMs) needs to
determine the processing sequence and the transferring sequence simultaneously. The …

Modern manufacturing processes have thoroughly incorporated automation and repetitive
processing. The use of computer-controlled material handling systems to convey raw …

In the manufacture of circuit boards, panels are immersed sequentially in a series of tanks,
with upper and lower bounds on the processing time within each tank. The panels are …

This paper deals with the multi-degree cyclic robotic flow shop cell scheduling problem with
multiple robots. All the parts are processed successively through the machines with standard …

We consider the scheduling problem of cyclic production in a bufferless dual-gripper robot
cell processing a family of identical parts. The objective is to find an optimal sequence of …
