“Smart Factory”: Intelligent System for Workshop Resource Allocation, Scheduling, Optimization and Controlling in Real Time

Abstract:

The paper describes intelligent system “Smart Factory” which is designed to increase factory productivity and efficiency of resources utilization in real time (including equipment, manpower, materials, etc.). The objectives and key areas of application are considered and it is shown that system provides flexible event-driven reaction on changes in factory environment, resource allocation, scheduling, optimization and controlling in real time. The developed method of adaptive resource scheduling, main functionality of system and examples of screens are discussed. The results of implementation and measured benefits for Izhevsk Axion Holding are presented.
