REAL-TIME SCHEDULING IN A SENSORISED FACTORY USING CLOUD-BASED SIMULATION WITH MOBILE DEVICE ACCESS

Scheduling is a challenge that persists in the operational phase of the manufacturing life-cycle. The challenge can be attributed to the complex, dynamic, and stochastic nature of a manufacturing system. Computer simulation is often used to assist with scheduling, as it can sufficiently mimic comple...
