Elevating manufacturing excellence with multilevel optimization in smart factory cloud computing using hybrid model
摘要
The factory has adopted an extensive ecosystem of connected devices and IoT sensors, utilizing cloud computing for real-time decision-making. Secure cloud storage serves as the backbone, managing vast datasets and enabling centralized control. By leveraging advanced analytics and machine learning on the cloud, the factory has implemented predictive maintenance, minimizing downtime and optimizing production. The integration of Hybrid PSO-GA for machines and supply chain processes streamlines operations, allowing for remote monitoring and control to enhance operational agility. Cutting-edge advancements in New Generation Information Technologies (New IT) are crucial in driving the evolution of smart manufacturing. The proliferation of Internet-connected devices in these environments generates substantial data throughout the product lifecycle. Adopting a cloud-based smart manufacturing strategy provides numerous services and applications for analysing massive datasets and fostering significant cooperation in manufacturing operations. However, challenges such as latency, bandwidth congestion, and network unavailability hinder its effectiveness for real-time applications requiring fast, low-latency performance. These issues are efficiently addressed by integrating cloud computing with edge computing, extending the cloud’s capabilities to the edge. This paper presents a hierarchical reference architecture for smart manufacturing, leveraging cloud computing. The proposed approach employs a hybrid PSO-GA scheduling function that combines Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) to optimize task start times and reduce latency. The optimal solution from this hybrid approach updates task start times, with subsequent scheduling performed using a selected algorithm. The proposed novel hybrid PSO-GA model integrates AI-driven optimization, IoT, and digital twins to enhance real-time decision-making and adapt to dynamic data streams in smart manufacturing. Its novelty lies in balancing multi-objective trade-offs, significantly improving operational efficiency and responsiveness within the Industry 4.0 framework.
