摘要:The prediction mechanism is very crucial in a smart factory as they widely help in improving the product quality and customer’s experience based on learnings from past trends. The implementation of analytics tools to predict the production and consumer patterns plays a vital rule. In this paper, we put our efforts to find integrated solutions for smart factory concerns by proposing an efficient task management mechanism based on learning to scheduling in a smart factory. The learning to prediction mechanism aims to predict the machine utilization for machines involved in the smart factory, in order to efficiently use the machine resources. The prediction algorithm used is artificial neural network (ANN) and the learning to prediction algorithm used is particle swarm optimization (PSO). The proposed task management mechanism is evaluated based on multiple scenario simulations and performance analysis. The comparisons analysis shows that proposed task management system significantly improves the machine utilization rate and drastically drops the tasks instances missing rate and tasks starvation rate.
