A STUDY ON VALUE CO-CREATIVE DESIGN AND SMART MANUFACTURING SYSTEM WITH USERS’ PREFERENCES

~DEVELOPMENT OF SMART FACTORY PLATFORM AND SCHEDULING ALGORITHM~

Abstract

With the advancement of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), smart manufacturing system has been improved extremely in the world, and the information acquired from smart devices in manufacturing equipment is used for improving manufacturing efficiency and integrity. In our group, a value co-creative smart factory platform has been constructed, and also the production scheduling algorithm in consideration of users’ preferences and machines’ condition has been developed. In our smart factory platform, the condition of the simulated products is acquired using RF-ID system, and then the schedule of each production machine is adjusted using a multi-agent system with machine conditions, users’ preference, desired due date and prices using the developed interactive system. In the production schedules, a scheduling method introducing an auction mechanism has been developed. In this proceeding, the current development of smart factory platform with interactive system and the production scheduling method involving the auction mechanisms are discussed.
