Abstract

In order to comply with today's smart manufacturing and production automation trends, this paper studies the transfer-robot scheduling in the flexible job shop. In this problem, this paper considers that the transfer-robot handles activities for the entire production process, including the job leaving the loading station before processing, the job being transferred between machines, and the job returning to the unloading station after completion to make it more realistic. With the objective of minimizing the makespan of all jobs, a mixed integer programming model is established for this problem, and propose an improved migratory bird migration algorithm to solve the model combined with the mutation domain search strategy. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm is verified by the test examples MKI-MKIO, and compared with other algorithms. The experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively solve the research problem.
