Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) have been largely used in manufacturing and supply chain management. With the development of Auto-ID technologies like radio frequency identification (RFID), AGVs’ positioning could be enhanced. This paper demonstrates using magnetic field lines in the AGVs for precise coverage locating based on the errors’ suppression positioning method. Dolph-Chebyshev antenna array...
Prefabrication construction heavily relies on the efficiency and effectiveness of transportation since all the precast components must be delivered from prefabrication production manufacturers to construction sites for final assembly. Aiming at improving the operations and decision-making processes during prefabrication transportation, this paper proposes a Cloud Asset-enabled Prefabrication Transportation...
This paper proposes a job-shop scheduling model which converts the real-time captured data as feedbacks into the model for more precise and reasonable decision-makings. The experiment shows that, from practice implementations, the proposed model is able to achieve good performance though comparing the concerned WIP inventory, Production Cycle, and Product Ratio from the case company. The lessons and...
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been widely used in manufacturing sites for supporting the shopfloor management. Huge amount of RFID-enabled production data has been generated. In order to discover invaluable information and knowledge from the RFID big data, it is necessary to cleanse such dataset since there is large number of noises. This paper uses n-dimensional RFID-Cuboids...
This paper is motivated by a real-life production company that has been using RFID technology for supporting its production decision-making, which is divided into production planning and scheduling. Using the concept of advanced production planning and scheduling within hybrid flowshop environment, a real-time RFID-driven model is proposed to twining production planning and scheduling so that these...
This article aims at developing a service-oriented dashboard for operators and supervisors of manufacturing shopfloor work-cells to realize information visibility and traceability effectively with cloud and RFID (radio frequency identification) technologies. The work is based on a case of an illustrative assembly line consisting of a number of work cells. The dashboard is deployed for facilitating...
