Energy conscious scheduling of a material handling robot in a manufacturing cell
Gürel, Sinan; Akhlaghi, Vahid Eghbal (Elsevier BV, 2019-08-01)
In cyclic scheduling of material handling robots in manufacturing cells, a common approach is to minimize the cycle time objective, which is a measure of the throughput of the cell. In a typical robot move cycle, robot move times constitute a significant portion of the cycle time. During handling operations, robots consume significant amount of energy, which is determined by their speed, load and the distance they travel. In this paper, we propose considering robot speed decisions along with robot move sequ...
Energy Efficient Scheduling in Flow-shop and Parallel Machine Robotic Cells
Aydoğan, Çiya; Gürel, Sinan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2021-9-10)
Robotic cell scheduling studies mostly focus on increasing the throughput of the cell. Therefore, those studies consider cycle time or makespan minimization objectives. However, energy-efficient and environmentally sensitive manufacturing operations become more important and receive attention in recent studies in the literature. In this thesis, we study two robotic cell scheduling problems with machines and a material handling robot. We consider robot energy consumption as an objective to minimize while max...
Energy conscious scheduling in a two-machine robotic cell
Akhlaghi, Vahid Eghbal; Gürel, Sinan; Gültekin, Hakan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2017)
Robotic cells usually operate under time pressure to minimize time related objectives such as cycle time, makespan, and tardiness. Robot moves constitute a significant portion of cycle time. Also, robots consume significant amount of energy determined by the speeds and distances of their moves. We study the tradeoff between the cycle time and energy consumption of a robot in a two machine flexible robotic cell which processes identical parts. In this system, the loading and unloading of machines are made by...
Energy-efficient scheduling of packet transmissions over wireless networks
Balaji, Prabhakar; Uysal, Elif; El Gamal, Abbas (null; 2002-06-23)
The paper develops algorithms for minimizing the energy required to transmit packets in a wireless environment. It is motivated by the following observation: In many channel coding schemes it is possible to significantly lower the transmission energy by transmitting packets over a long period of time. Based on this observation, we show that for a variety of scenarios the offline energy-efficient transmission scheduling problem reduces to a convex optimization problem. Unlike for the special case of a single...
Energy conscious machine and robot speed decisions in two machine robotic cell scheduling
Güzel, Betül Necibe; Gürel, Sinan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2021-6-15)
Minimizing cycle time has always been a critical objective in manufacturing cells. Recently, energy efficient and environmentally conscious manufacturing practices have received increasing attention from researchers and practitioners. Therefore, in this thesis we consider a 2-machine manufacturing cell with a material handling robot where two conflicting objectives exist: minimization of cycle time and energy consumption. It is a flow type cell where identical parts are first processed on the first machine ...
