[01182] Optimizing the manufacturing process of a cutting machine in iron industry
Session Time & Room : 3C (Aug.23, 13:20-15:00) @D501
Type : Contributed Talk
Abstract : In this talk we discuss a multi-criteria optimization framework designed for the cooperation with a prominent company, leader in the production of automatic machines employed in iron manufacturing. The optimized machine process counts several steps, starting by cutting the bars at specified lengths and moving them into two temporary buffers. Afterwards, bars are relocated through pliers to parallel depots through a lengthwise movement and gathered by order to facilitate the subsequent transfer to downstream steps.
