Abstract

Interbay Automated Material Handling Systems (AMHS) are widely adopted especially in Semiconductor Wafer Fabrication Systems (SWFS). The dispatching method plays a major role in the control of AMHS. This paper proposes an efficient multi-objective dynamic dispatching method which will dynamically adjust vehicle-load assignments according to the real-time situation of the system. A multi-objective cost function with variable weights is established, taking into account various performance indices (i.e., transport time, throughput, cycle time, vehicle utilization, movement, and waiting time), and the corresponding mathematical model is formulated. Then, in order to obtain the suitable weights according to the real-time condition, an advanced method is developed based on fuzzy theory. After that, a Hungarian algorithm is adopted to solve the model. Finally, simulations are conducted to validate the proposed method. The results demonstrate that it has better comprehensive performance compared to the previous dispatching methods.
