A distributed assembly blocking flow shop scheduling optimization system

This invention proposes a distributed assembly line workshop scheduling optimization system. A distributed estimation algorithm driven by Kalman filtering and a history learning mechanism is designed to optimize the system. Prediction, observation, first repair, and second repair are applied to the workpiece processing stage. Furthermore, enhanced repair information is fed back to the probabilistic model through the history learning mechanism to improve model accuracy. Additionally, an adaptive adjustment strategy is employed to balance the exploration and development capabilities of the optimization system. Experiments comparing the system with several classic optimization systems on a test set demonstrate the competitiveness of the proposed system. Tests on instances with varying numbers of workpieces, machines, factories, and products show that the proposed system can minimize the assembly completion time in the distributed assembly line workshop, thereby improving production efficiency.

This invention discloses a reentrant hybrid flow shop scheduling method based on the IMOEA / D algorithm. Specifically, it first establishes a BPM-RHFSP multi-objective optimization mathematical model with the optimization objectives of minimizing maximum completion time, total delay time, and total equipment energy cost. This transforms the actual production job scheduling problem into a combinatorial optimization mathematical model problem. Then, based on IMOEA / D, it solves the problem model by designing a variable threshold batching strategy for batch processing job decoding; multi-region global search and random variable neighborhood search; and reinforcement search for individuals within the elite solution set.

Flexible flow shop scheduling method and system based on environment model and computer readable storage medium

This invention relates to a flexible flow shop scheduling method, system, and computer-readable storage medium based on an environment model, belonging to the field of flexible flow shop scheduling and control technology. This invention decouples the construction of the environment model and the training of the agent. First, the environment model is trained independently using historical scheduling data, enabling it to accurately predict the shop state transitions under given states and actions. Then, the parameters in the environment model are fixed, and the environment model is used as a real interactive environment to interact with the agent. This method not only overcomes the dependence of model-free reinforcement learning on a high-fidelity simulation environment but also solves the convergence difficulties and computational complexity problems caused by the coupling training of the model and policy in traditional model-based reinforcement learning. It combines high sample efficiency with policy flexibility, significantly improving scheduling efficiency and system adaptability, and providing a feasible technical solution for intelligent scheduling of flexible flow shops.
