Abstract
Traditional factory production has limitations such as energy waste, emission pollution, etc., and there are also certain unreasonable structural aspects. Therefore, this article proposes a method that can make the factory building structure more green, flexible, and intelligent. It is hoped that by improving the ant colony algorithm and applying it to factory design and production, the goal of reducing energy consumption, maximizing resource utilization, and reducing environmental impact can be achieved. Transforming the design problem of factory building structure into an optimization problem using ant colony algorithm, that is, finding the optimal path and layout. In this process, the ant colony algorithm simulates the behavior of ants by continuously iterating and updating the concentration of pheromones, in order to achieve the global optimal solution. In order to achieve the combination of green design principles and flexible production needs, corresponding constraint conditions and objective functions were introduced, taking into account the flexibility and adjustability within the factory to meet different production needs. Ant colony algorithm can provide the best structural design solution for factory buildings by optimizing search, combining green design principles and flexible production requirements, and promoting the development of green and sustainable factory buildings.
期刊介绍:
Thermal Science and Engineering Progress (TSEP) publishes original, high-quality research articles that span activities ranging from fundamental scientific research and discussion of the more controversial thermodynamic theories, to developments in thermal engineering that are in many instances examples of the way scientists and engineers are addressing the challenges facing a growing population – smart cities and global warming – maximising thermodynamic efficiencies and minimising all heat losses. It is intended that these will be of current relevance and interest to industry, academia and other practitioners. It is evident that many specialised journals in thermal and, to some extent, in fluid disciplines tend to focus on topics that can be classified as fundamental in nature, or are ‘applied’ and near-market. Thermal Science and Engineering Progress will bridge the gap between these two areas, allowing authors to make an easy choice, should they or a journal editor feel that their papers are ‘out of scope’ when considering other journals. The range of topics covered by Thermal Science and Engineering Progress addresses the rapid rate of development being made in thermal transfer processes as they affect traditional fields, and important growth in the topical research areas of aerospace, thermal biological and medical systems, electronics and nano-technologies, renewable energy systems, food production (including agriculture), and the need to minimise man-made thermal impacts on climate change. Review articles on appropriate topics for TSEP are encouraged, although until TSEP is fully established, these will be limited in number. Before submitting such articles, please contact one of the Editors, or a member of the Editorial Advisory Board with an outline of your proposal and your expertise in the area of your review.
