Research on deep reinforcement learning based intelligent shop scheduling method by Zihui LUO, Chengling JIANG, Liang LIU, Xiaolong ZHENG, Huadong MA

“…The unprecedented prosperity of the industrial internet of things (IIoT) has opened up a new path for the traditional industrial manufacturing model.Intelligent shop scheduling is one of the key technologies to achieve the overall control and flexible production of the whole production process.It requires an effective plan with a minimum makespan to allocate multiple processes and multiple machines for production scheduling.Firstly, the shop scheduling problem was defined as a Markov decision process (MDP), and a shop scheduling model based on the pointer network was established.Secondly, the job scheduling process was regarded as a mapping from one sequence to another, and a new shop scheduling algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) was proposed.By analyzing the convergence of the model under different parameter settings, the optimal parameters were determined.Experimental results on different scales of public data sets and actual production data sets show that the proposed DRL algorithm can obtain better performances.…”
