Hierarchical collaborative scheduling of workers and AGVs for digital twin-based distributed flexible job shop

Key Points

• The innovative approach enhances scheduling efficiency in flexible job shops, particularly using digital twin technology.
• Collaborative scheduling of workers and AGVs resulted in a 25% increase in operational productivity in simulated environments.
• Assessment using hierarchical systems allows for better coordination between human workers and machines in manufacturing processes.
• This method may enable improved workflows, yet requires further evaluation in real-world applications.
