Optimizing Cellular Manufacturing Systems: Minimizing Production Time with Collaborative Robots (Cobots) using PSO
Abstract: This study focuses on the implementation of cobots in a cellular manufacturing system to minimize production time. The use of cobots, collaborative robots capable of working alongside human operators, aims to increase efficiency and reduce manual labor in the manufacturing process. The mathematical model presented in this research evaluates the impact of cobots on production time by considering various factors, including task times, machine setup, inspection, waiting, and idle times. …
