Summary Information provided by the agent in SIGEVA
A general MILP-based model is presented for the scheduling of multiple products in Automated Manufacturing Systems. The proposed model addresses the scheduling of multiple processing operations in several stages considering recycle flows and sequence-dependent transfer times in a single automated-material handling robot. A real-world industrial application problem is solved to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach
