Abstract:
With the growth of industrialization, the global manufacturing industry is continually evolving and reforming in the direction of intelligence and green production. Industrial robots have replaced human workers because of the benefit of production efficiency. However, the large-scale application of ro-bots requires a large amount of energy consumption and generates a large amount of CO2, which will lead to energy waste and environmental pollution. In addition, in term of performing some particular tasks, current robot tech-nology cannot achieve the same level of intelligence as human. Therefore, the design trend of assembly lines in industry has shifted from traditional config-uration to human-robot collaboration to achieve higher productivity and flexibility. This paper investigates the human-robot collaboration (HRC) as-sembly line balancing problem, taking cycle time and carbon emission as primary and secondary objectives. A new mixed-integer programming model that features a cross-station design is formulated. A particle swarm algorithm (PSO) with two improvement rules is designed to solve the problems. The comparative experiments on ten benchmark datasets are conducted to assess the performance of the proposed algorithm. The experimental results indicate that the improved particle swarm algorithm is superior to the other two heu-ristics: simulated annealing (SA) and the late acceptance hill-climbing heuris-tic (LAHC). © 2024 Production Engineering Institute.
