An Integrated Scheduling Algorithm Considering the Processing Capacity of Flexible Equipment

In the existing research on flexible integrated scheduling, the lack of consideration for the collaborative processing capability of equipment systems reduces their high-density and rapid processing capabilities. In response to this issue, the number of processes that can be processed by flexible equipment is taken as the optimization object and the equipment resources with tight competition resources are taken as the optimization element, and proposes an integrated scheduling algorithm (ISA-CPCFE) that considers the processing capacity of flexible equipment. Firstly, the strategy of prioritizing processes with higher levels and shorter processing times is adopted to improve the parallel scheduling of processes. Secondly, a strategy is proposed to minimize the scheduling scale and dynamically adjust the priority of flexible equipment, further enhancing the intensity of compact equipment scheduling. Finally, a comparative experiment was conducted between the ISA-CPCFE algorithm and algorithms based on pru-ning layering, device driven, actual path, and reverse order layer priority. The results show that the ISA-CPCFE algorithm achieves the optimization goals of shorter processing time for complex products and higher overall utilization of flexible equipment systems, with better scheduling effects.
