Automatic Adaptive Scheduling of Processing in Multimachine Cells

SBIR第一阶段提案的目的是研究 多机联合体自动调度的可行性 实时的基础上，并实施统一的计算机系统， 在自动化系统中提供新的调度工具。 实时 通过分离调度生成和再生任务的调度 从时间表适应/恢复任务将进行调查。 的 自动确定变量方法的有效性 重新安排时间段、时间表调整/恢复程序，以及 将探讨定期再生程序。 本研究 应该导致一个新的软件产品，并由用户驱动 从当前软件的应用程序中导出的要求 产品FACTOR，提供车间调度工具。 因子 是在SBIR的资助下开发的。 如果第一阶段的研究 如果成功，将提交第二阶段提案。

The objective of this SBIR Phase I proposal is to study the feasibility of automatically scheduling multi-machine complexes on a real-time basis and implementing a unified computer system to provide new scheduling tools in automated systems. Real-time scheduling by separating schedule generation and regeneration tasks from schedule adaptation/recovery tasks will be investigated. The effectiveness of heuristics to automatically determine variable rescheduling periods, schedule adaptation/recovery procedures, and schedule regeneration procedures will be explored. This research should lead to a new software product and is motivated by user requirements derived from applications of a current software product, FACTOR, which provides shop floor scheduling tools. FACTOR was developed under a prior SBIR grant. If this Phase I research is successful, a Phase II proposal will be submitted.
