A Reinforcement Learning Based Framework to the Facility Layout Problem
摘要
This paper presents a novel Reinforcement Learning framework for facility layout planning. The framework leverages reinforcement learning to create and improve layout configurations through an intuitive setup process. The proposed methodology includes a graphical user interface application that allows practitioners to easily configure their problem setting for facility layout optimization tasks. A proof of concept demonstrates the effectiveness of the framework, showcasing the successful optimization of an exemplary layout configuration. The framework bridges the gap between advanced machine learning techniques and practical application in layout planning. We demonstrate that the framework presented is able to train RL-agents, which achieve close to optimal solutions.
