Modeling, scheduling, and performance evaluation for deadlock-free flexible manufacturing cells for a dual gripper robot: a constraint programming approach

Deadlocks are critical events in Flexible Manufacturing Cells (FMC) that result from circular waits among a set of resources. Circular waits happen when a set of resources with finite capacity are in a permanent hold due to wait state to admit new jobs. Past literature examines the deadlock-free sch...
