Due to the change of the batch milling system state, the continuous use of the same machining parameters may lead to degradation in quality and efficiency for workpieces in batches. Machining parameter optimization is usually determined by manual experience or trial-and-error methods, making it difficult to achieve a synergistic consideration of both quality and efficiency. To address this issue, a novel multi-task deep reinforcement learning method for machining parameter optimization in a batch machining system is proposed. Firstly, a reliable parallel joint estimation model of multiple machining quality and efficiency indicators is established using a multi-task time series estimation method, which can learn the correlation of these indicators to improve estimation accuracy. Then, the parameter optimization problem is formalized as a Markov decision process supported by a reinforcement learning virtual environment and an agent. The reinforcement learning virtual environment with the joint estimation model is constructed to improve the accuracy of optimized machining parameters for the collaborative optimization of quality and efficiency indicators. Within the virtual environment, time series sequential state, sequential action, multi-objective reward function, and constraint conditions adapted to the joint estimation model are defined to repeatedly evaluate different machining parameters. The agent with a multi-head attention and a dynamic weight adjustment mechanism is designed to improve the stability of the optimization process. Finally, experiments on a real machining dataset of thin-walled parts show that compared with the traditional deep reinforcement learning algorithm, the optimization effect of the proposed framework is improved by 9 %−12 %, and the standard deviation is decreased by 9 % −18 %.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Manufacturing Systems","volume":"78 ","pages":"Pages 124-152"},"PeriodicalIF":12.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142747212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior research tackles this issue by aiming to develop a comprehensive approach for assisted, model-based rough planning of production systems. This article focuses the optimization of variant-specific production systems. The basis for this is a process precedence graph that restricts the optimization of the assignment of process steps to stations. In the mathematical modeling of the <em>Assembly Line Balancing Problem</em> (ALBP), this work addresses complex constraints, including the selection of station equipment, the utilization of multiple robots per station and a non-discrete assignment of tasks. The approach developed is applied to the example of a Tier 1 automotive supplier, where the multi-criteria solution of the ALBP allows an evaluation of the planning result. To this end, this work compares the algorithmically generated solution both qualitatively and quantitatively with an example of manual expert planning. Thereby it demonstrates the broad, industrial applicability of the approach. Consequently, this research contributes to enhancing efficiency in production system planning, leading to sustainable reductions in both costs and time.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Manufacturing Systems","volume":"78 ","pages":"Pages 109-123"},"PeriodicalIF":12.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142721391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is costly and time-consuming to measure part quality manually after each production cycle ends, which results in quality defects difficult to be captured in time. In this case, a soft sensor is essential to model the IM process and predict the final quality in real time with multi-source industrial production data. However, traditional data-driven modeling methods fail to take advantage of the information in complex high-frequency data from in-mold sensors, resulting in an inaccurate IM model and unsatisfactory quality prediction performance. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a novel soft sensor framework based on a teacher-student structure. After specialized preprocessing of multiple sensor time series data, a GRU-based autoencoder with an attention mechanism (GRU-A-AE) is trained as a teacher model, extracting deep implicit features involving valuable time sequential information. Then, a cascaded relationship among shallow feature points from sensor signals, deep features, and final part weights is established using back propagation neural networks (BPNNs).

In the automated PCB assembly process, machine vision and coordinate localization methods are commonly employed to guide the positioning of assembly units. However, occlusion or poor lighting conditions can affect the effectiveness of machine vision-based methods. Additionally, the assembly of odd-form components requires highly specialized fixtures for assembly unit positioning, leading to high costs and low flexibility, especially for multi-variety and small-batch production. Drawing on these considerations, a vision-free, model-agnostic meta-method for compensating robotic position errors is proposed, which maximizes the probability of accurate robotic positioning through interactive feedback, thereby reducing the dependency on visual feedback and mitigating the impact of occlusions or lighting variations. The proposed method endows the robot with the capability to learn and adapt to various position errors, inspired by the human instinct for grasping under uncertainties. Furthermore, it is a self-adaptive method that can accelerate the robotic positioning process as more examples are incorporated and learned. Empirical studies show that the proposed method can handle a variety of odd-form components without relying on specialized fixtures, while achieving similar assembly efficiency to highly dedicated automation equipment. As of the writing of this paper, the proposed meta-method has already been implemented in a robotic-based assembly line for odd-form electronic components. Since PCB assembly involves various electronic components with different sizes, shapes, and functions, subsequent studies can focus on assembly sequence and assembly route optimization to further enhance assembly efficiency.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Manufacturing Systems","volume":"78 ","pages":"Pages 46-57"},"PeriodicalIF":12.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142699248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
