The following paper presents the application of Deep Q-Networks (DQN) for solving a flexible job shop problem with integrated process planning. DQN is deep reinforcement learning algorithm, which aims to train an agent perform specific task. In particular, we two agents in connection discrete-event simulation model problem, where one responsible selection operation sequences, while other allocates jobs machines. We compare performance GRASP metaheuristic. After less than hour training,...

Due to severe biodiversity and climate crises, there is now a need for sustainable supply chains. Food chains contribute loss, especially through land use agriculture. In addition, energy-intensive storage refrigeration intercontinental transportation lead high emission along due seasonality. Selecting prioritizing decarbonization actions key task decision makers food this decade. Often, modernizing by integrating information digital technologies seen as beneficial environmental goals. The...

In 2016, Microsoft released the mixed reality (MR) head-mounted display (HMD) HoloLensTM. As augmented (AR) devices, HoloLensTM can enrich user's perceived environment with virtual information. However, does not consider as AR device, but first MR since it has some additional features compared to competing devices. Especially mention is possibility interact objects and vice versa. This paper shall provide an insight about application potentials of in field production logistics. For this...

In the context of digital transformation industry and within framework Industrie 4.0 Factory Planning 4.0, new production-organizational principles with decentralized, modular freely linked production cells are increasingly being discussed. The principle matrix categorized standardized work-stations offers an extremely versatile environment. This can be used to meet challenge increasing number product variants in variable quantities. concept is predominantly only considered from a...

The production paradigm of "matrix production", newly discussed in the context digital transformation, is challenging traditional factory planning methods. In a turbulent market environment, more and companies are striving to increase their competitiveness through flexible efficient systems. Traditional approaches still based on classical Conflicts inefficiencies transformation project inevitable. To avoid controversy, question how can be updated with support matrix systems (MPSs) must...

The two major trends influencing modern production are digitalization and clean technologies, mainly driven by the technological development respectively severe crises of our biosphere. Logistics 4.0 concept aims to integrate different digital technologies into Supply Chains (SC) is often seen as a possibility enhance process performance. Different authors qualitatively describe its potentials improve carbon footprint or ecological performance logistics processes. This paper presents method...

Digitization and green technologies are major trends for our economy, which has to keep pace with technological development tackle the severe crises of biosphere. Ecological improvements often considered as an important by-product motivation implementing Industry 4.0 measures. A systematic literature review underlines this win-win implementation, but points out that effect is so far not quantified. To address gap, a set Food Logistics measures compared, in scope carbon footprints national...

Intelligent linking in the context of Industry 4.0 alters objectives and possibilities designing logistics solutions production economy today tomorrow [1]. There is a growing need for an expanded theory that helps to characterize existing as well systematically develop new bring them together effectively efficiently. The are development model thinking procedure current future including Logistics 4.0. article explains newly developed "Smart Zone" (SLZ). SLZ defined scalable examination action...

We present a novel strategy to solve two-stage hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with family setup times. The is derived from an industrial case. Our involves the application of NeuroEvolution Augmenting Topologies - genetic algorithm, which generates arbitrary neural networks being able estimate job sequences. algorithm coupled discrete-event simulation model, evaluates different network configurations and provides training signals. compare performance computational efficiency proposed...

This paper deals with the topic of digital factory and, in particular, consideration logistical processes that take place a highly automated factory. The focuses on an analysis Fischertechnik® Training Factory Industry 4.0 model, which is used as teaching and learning environment at Magdeburg-Stendal University Applied Sciences. objective to record taking model evaluate them regard their level digitalization. For this purpose, so-called Smart Logistics Zone (SLZ) approach [1] apply...

In order to design a resilient production system, individual system elements have be flexible and adapt towards changing requirements. contrast the prevailing paradigm that complexity in systems is reduced by standardisation or cycle production, offers great potential terms of adaptiveness, robustness anticipation. Within control, matrix seen as versatile system. Flexible routing between work-stations makes it possible compensate for failures more quickly event malfunction, logistics control...

This paper describes an approach how production and logistics can meet the challenge of a new industrial ecosystem through intelligent networking digitisation participating resources value creation process. Intelligent in sense Industrie 4.0 thus abolition rigid physical system boundaries is postulated by research "Smart Logistics Zone". defined as scalable area investigation action for analysis, evaluation, planning, control, regulation (re-) configuration solutions [1]. It encompasses...

A Nemzetközi Doktorandusz Workshop, mely a logisztika, ellátási lánc és termelésmenedzsment területekre fókuszál, egy évek óta jól bevált lehetőséget kínál doktoranduszoknak, hogy kutatómunkájukat bemutassák megvitassák nemzetközi szakemberekkel, mind doktori eljárás kezdeti szakaszában, pedig fokozatszerzési folyamat során. coaching az értékes tanácsok mellett workshop biztosít új kapcsolatok kialakítására hálózatépítés kezdeményezésére is, pl. közös kutatómunka későbbi publikációk...
