  2. 1. Planning production and supply chain in energy intensive process industries

    Author : Martin Waldemarsson; Helene Lidestam; Martin Rudberg; Magnus Karlsson; Sophie D'Amours; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Process industry; Energy-intensive production processes; Energy system; Energy management; Production planning; Supply chain planning; Case studies; Mixed Integer Linear Programming; Modelling; Specialty chemicals; Pulp; Steel;

    Abstract : To make a difference among the energy intensive process industries, this dissertation addresses production planning and supply chain planning problems related to industrial energy management issues. The energy issue is turning more and more important from different angles, involving price as well as environmental problems due to climate change leading to political pressure on all energy users.

  4. 2. Planning and Sequencing Through Multimodal Interaction for Robot Programming

    Author : Batu Akan; Baran Çürüklü; Bengt Lennartson; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; human robot interaction; industrial robots; planning; multimodal interaction; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Over the past few decades the use of industrial robots has increased the efficiency as well as the competitiveness of several sectors. Despite this fact, in many cases robot automation investments are considered to be technically challenging. In addition, for most small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) this process is associated with high costs. READ MORE

  5. 3. On Optimal Mission Planning for Vehicles over Long-distance Trips

    Author : Ahad Hamednia; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Stochastic dynamic programming; Optimal control; Logistics planning; Thermal and charging management; Model predictive control; Mission planning;

    Abstract : This thesis proposes a mission planner for vehicles over long-distance trips, for finding the optimal trade-off between trip time, energy efficiency, and driver comfort, subject to road information, traffic situations, and weather conditions. The mission planner consists of three components, i.e. READ MORE

  6. 4. Optimization of Investments for Strategic Process Integration and Pulp Mill Biorefinery Projects under Uncertainty

    Author : Elin Svensson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []

    Abstract : Energy-intensive industrial plants operate in a changing, uncertain environment. Long-term changes are expected in energy prices, political regulations and technology development. Pulp and paper companies, like many other industries, are under strong pressure to respond to these changes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Optimizing and Approximating Algorithms for the Single and Multiple Agent Precedence Constrained Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem

    Author : Raad Salman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PCGmTSP; GTSP; SOP; mTSP; branch and bound; asymmetric generalized multiple traveling salesman problem; VRP; PCGTSP; dynamic programming; sequential ordering problem; vehicle routing problem; ant colony optimization; metaheuristic local search heuristic; precedence constraints; edge exchange; ant colony optimization;

    Abstract : In the planning phases of automated manufacturing, generating efficient programs for robot stations is a crucial problem which needs to be solved. One aspect of the programming is the optimization of task sequences, such as series of welds or measuring points, so that the cycle time is minimized. READ MORE
